This is for the sketch challenge today. I decided to use my dp as the focal. I added IO Heart Dies, a couple embossed with Crafts Too Hearts and edged with either the corduroy or the cream white. The larger die I printed hugs on and distressed the edges then added the corduroy. Getting over my fear of messing it up, I added some gesso with my baby finger - then rubbed off trying to make it lighter, some are good, some not so much! But I didn't have to throw it out! Added some pearls to finish. Thanks for the sketch and for looking.
Happy New Year to everyone.

I'm glad you made your dp shine today, Kia! Some pieces, like yours are just to nice to cover up! I love all the hearts and what you did to achieve them!

Beautiful bird image - great choice for the large area. And thanks for pointing out the gesso. I thought it was just part of the design of the paper. Very cool!
