As you all can see Hearts! One of th emany things I LOVE are Hearts and Hearts with wings! After looking through Pinterest n Youtube to get my juices going.   I didn't  just want to draw and paint them, but make them with texture and make them pop out of the canvas. 

1st-   Prepared the background by painting the background with 3-4 different colors of acrylic paint.

2nd - Stenciled with my own recipe of modeling paste mixed with acrylic paint. 

3rd -  Drew a heart on gesso paper prepared be4 hand. After I cut the heart out I crumbled and then painted it with   acrylic paint. Then I drew a crown & cross on Antique Music paper n painted it with gold Acrylic paint.

4th -  Chose 2 different patterned scrap booking papers that would marry the colors of the background

5th -  Mod Podge the heart, crown, and cross to the background.

6th - Drew the wings in pencil around the heart, boy, was this a challenge! I drew n erased over til I was satisfied. 

7th - Then the Long Fun begins! Took the 2 patterned papers and tore them apart in little pieces and Mod Podge the the pieces along the lines of the wings. Then fill the wings section by section. This takes a very long time my fingers were hurting just touching and trying to pick things up so I took breaks in between.

8th - Gesso old book paper and then painted them to prep them up to stamp words n verses once dried.

9th  - Mod Podge the words to backgound 

10th -Cut strips of Old books and Mod Podge it along the edges of the canvas

11th - Once I was satisfied with the background stamping n stenciling n coloring n embellishments I covered the whole canvas of Mod Podge or whatever sealer I have on hand.

12th - Finito! Sat back n enjoyed looking at the finished piece n recover my fingers be4 starting another one!
