Heart in Hands

I am so excited to share this with you.  It is my very first non-challenge post. I took my inspiration from the oh- so- talented Linda Warlyn.  She is awesome.  I had wanted a artist model hand for a long time and found one at Dick Blick.  The foundation pieces are just various sizes boxes covered in 

T!m's  tissue paper and distressed with Old Paper.  The hand is base-coated in cream acrylic

paint.  The element that took sooo long was the heart.  I am not too swift at sewing and so it took up a large chunk of time sewing the vintage buttons around it.  The hand is also crackled and inked with Vintage Photo.  I found some floral decoupage black and whites, tinted them with Gelatos.  The heart wanted to float around so I had to secure it to the palm with PVC glue.  As a final step I added the little rose the letters from Ideaology, and the silk ribbon from my stash.  I might also mention the little girl from Paper Whimsey printed on Extravaganza, secured to a fragment of doily.

Thanks for stopping by.
