I WANT YOU!

I've had ALOT of nervous energy lately

and needed an outlet....

BRING ON THE ART JOURNAL!

The only thing I knew when I started this spread was

it HAD TO HAVE A HEART!!

(SORRY.....no work in action photos!)

I cut a heart from a piece of cream patterned paper
pulled out a sheet of vintage music and
a dictionary page.

I cut a additional heart from separate piece of paper to protect my heart!

I laid two stencils on top of each other and taped them together

it was a "what if" moments and it turned out kinda cool!!

I applied a mixture of Apricot Lily and

Dove's Wings ~ Polishing Plaster

through the stencils!

Then I sprayed the background with

Glimmer Mist.

The next part was my FAVORITE....

I wanted a cracked heart....but all my

"crack" mediums were dried up....ooops!

So I pulled out a piece of TissueStock

covered the "heart" with Multi Medium

and squinched the TissueStock onto the heart.

When dry....I tore away the excess TissueStock.

I then mixed a bit of Peony Pink paint with

Perfect Glaze Medium

smeared it all over the heart....

let it dry for a bit then rubbed off the excess
with a baby wipe.
I smeared on some Tarnished Silver around the edges
with my finger.

I knew the heart needed a bit more....

so I pulled out my Believe Script stencil

and applied Shadow paint.....PERFECT!!

It was still looking a bit flat so I used

a Big Brush pen to go around the edges

and then with a fan brush I applied

a bit of gold Glitter Paste.

I then went in search of a quote that spoke

of how I was feeling....

I just want you
That's All
All your flaws,
mistakes, smiles,

jokes, sarcasam

EVERYTHING!
I JUST WANT YOU!

I wrote my quote on a piece of Kraft Cardstock

cut it up,

inked the edges and adhered to my heart.

I used a Petaloo Flower colored with the Crushed Shells

and accented with a vinatge button

because....it's just who I am!

Hope you've enjoyed my escape....
