It's Saturday, that means it's IC Challenge! I love this challenge, really makes me think. What drew me here today was the name Echo. We used to have friends back home that named their DD Echo. Go figure....Anyway, today I was inspired by this pillow ......details....
Thank goodness I checked out the site last night because I didn't have internet for awhile this morning, so it gave me time to figure out how to make my card sort of look like this brushstroke pillow. I gessoed some white cs, let dry. Then I lightly drew some squares and painted around them with black acrylic paint.
Painted the actual squares with white acrylic paint the added the black brush strokes. I wasn't careful while painting because I wanted it to look like the IC I chose. Hopefully I achieved that look.
Took a white card, sponged edges ruby red and added the black brushstrokes with acrylic paint.
Stamped the heart fours times. This is from my sister a long time ago and I don't know who makes it. I clear ep it, cut it out and glued all of them together. Popped this up on one of the squares.
Well, hope you like this. Know that each and every comment is so appreciated!!!!.......TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Do you remember who makes this stamp?

Well here are my favorite colors!! Cathy, I love the RED heart and base. I know that's a BIG surprise to you, right??? I love this interpretation of the IC! Well done, GF! (and thanks for choosing the RED!). I know someone who had 3 boys, then a girl. They named her ECCO - meaning Behold! in Italian. How's that for crazy interesting. I kinda like it!
