Here is the finished heart and the second photo shows my ingredients. I used diluted PVA glue, a neutral shade of tissue paper onto which I stamped just 2 of the lovely "Floral Flourishes and Swirls" using Nick BanTock's Van Dyke Brown Ink. I distresses the edges of the torn tissue with the ink pad, having torn to size, coated all in another PVA coating once in position, loved the effect that the ink bled a little and blended, (using foam tool), over the heart. I made a ribbon bow and stitched using clear nylon thread a small bronze bird.Fabric glue secured the ribbon bow and lace to the heart.
I am entering my altered heart into the following challenges
