Inspirational Post by Alysha



Hi girls, Alysha here

This is my DT reminder for February theme RED

I took an MDF heart and painted it with red paint, then decoupaged on some music papers and used a butterfly stamp and a crackle stamp to create the crackle on the outside of the heart and the little stamped butterflies.
The circles I created using a mask and some home made texture paste (PVA glue and baby powder)
I finally added the flower and butterfly embellishments

hugs Aly xxx
