My Only Heart

Hi to all!  I had a lot of fun making this card.  I have wanted to try the Tim Holtz techniques for awhile but I never knew  what I wanted to make.  The challenge at Studio L3 got me thinking hard and I came up with this project.  When I was putting it all together I realized that it wasn't anything like what I had planned, but I am really happy with the way it came out.

The heart piece uses a Shabby Chic paint technique and you can check out the Tim Holtz site and his blog for information on how he does this.  A great many of his techniques are in his book called, "A Compendium of Curiosities".  It is well worth checking out if like the grungy style.  His site is http://www.timholtz.com/.  Check out all of the cool projects and challenges at Studio L3 also.

I have used the Pitch Black paint as well as Espresso, Gold and Copper.  This really was a cool technique.  Actually I am quite surprised that mine worked out so well.  WOO HOO!

I am entering it into the Grungy Monday Challenge at Studio L3.  I am so glad that I found this site last week.  How did I miss this one?  Wish me luck and let me know what think of my creation.
