Hi everyone. Happy Valentine's Day.
It's not a holiday I really celebrate (especially at 6 AM-smile), but it is a day when so many folks think of romance, so I will celebrate that with my latest journal page.
The background is a technique I first used last month. I glued some plastic wrap onto some watercolor paper. Then I used some alcohol ink into to color it. When I used this technique in my arctic scene the blue made it look like cold water. Not sure the red makes it look warm or hot, but I do like the texture it creates in the background.
I drew and cut out the heart on some red painted paper, which I also stamped with words and a white Freda face. I used some scraps of a Gelli printed paper to make the flames, and I added the paint dots to them after adding the paint dots to the background. And finally the quote is from a magazine.
I am linking up to Elizabeth's HEARTS challenge at Art Journal Journey.
And since it is Friday I will wish everyone a good start to their weekend too.
Thanks for visiting.

This is simply amazing, Erika. I love that background technique and I had considered using one of those flaming hearts, too. Thanks SO very much for the inspiration, and even though it's not a holiday you celebrate, this is a great Valentine entry for my theme at Art Journal Journey. Have a super rest of your day, dear.

I love your red page, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt´s beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBut... you sure gave me an earworm! ;-)
I love your page especially the background. Something I have to try.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful valentine's page Erika! We don't tend to celebrate the day either, love should be expressed all year around.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend,
Alison xx
Gorgeous! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love the effect you got with your background and your flaming heart is great! It reminds me of a mould I have somewhere for a flaming heart - or did I just buy one? This old age is really getting to me, think I bought the flaming heart and maybe I made a mould from it.
ReplyDeleteWhatever, I love your page.
Hugs, Neet xx
