Paperartsy - Inspired by Jo Myhill

Hello Everyone,

Today I want to share a project I made following a project by Jo Myhill I saw over on the Paperartsy blog *HERE*




My project started as a 6x6 piece of mountboard, I scraped Fresco paint onto the mountboard - Elephant and Mermaid.  Next I mixed some Grunge Paste with Old Gold Fresco paint and a sprinkling of gold glitter and spread this onto the board randomly.  While that was drying I cut out the three hearts using a Paperartsy die and painted them with Little Black Dress, next I added Crackle Glaze and then once dry I painted the hearts with Irish Cream.  I stamped over the hearts with black versafine ink and the Mini 73 stamp then edged them with Vintage Photo.  Now the Grunge Paste mix was dry - the Old Gold hadn't really shown through totally so I used Renaissance Treasure Gold all over then added touches of White Fire here and there.  Next I tore a piece of vintage music sheet that had a list of songs on it and edged with Vintage Photo and added it over the Grunge Paste.  Then I added the three hearts together using foam pads to give a bit of extra dimension.  Finally I edged around the outside of the mountboard with Vintage Photo to tone everything in.

I would like to enter my piece in the following challenges:
