Share the Love

Hi everyone. It is already time for another new challenge at Try It On Tuesday. And since it is February, we are going to Share the Love. It is a fun challenge for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday.
This page began with a stencil and paint to make the background. I found this cool lightbulb image in magazine, so I cut it out and decided it would be my page centerpiece. Since it was a dark image I added some black "blobs" to my background with a wet paper towel dipped in a bit of black paint. I also gave it some gold spray ink but it didn't shine as much as I had hoped, Still the gold gives it a good look.
Then I used a gold marker and some pink glitter glue to brighten  up the lightbulb.
I  found this cute little couple in my package of TH found relatives. They were connected but I cut them apart, added them to  the page and gave the each a matching pink heart. And I gave the lightbulb one last bit of flair by adding the little silver dots around the edge.
Don't forget to stop by and see all the great art by Try It On Tuesday the designers too.

We hope to see your love inspired art!

And since the latest challenge at Art Journal Journey is Hearts (Thanks Elizabeth), I am also linking this page up to that challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Oh, what a magnificent page! I love the steampunk look of the lightbulb - which I also saw as a vintage hot air balloon at first... I thought they were going to leap in and elope (though perhaps they're a little young for that!). Gorgeous vintage photos and a richly textured background - it's fab!

    Another super page Erika. What a lightbulb moment you had when you thought of using those figures alongside the bulb. The black touches on that gorgeous background really tie it all in and the figures are perfect. Wish I had those in one of my packs.
    Hugs, Neet xx
    ps love that tiny heart in the bulb

    I love that background -the pattern and gold color are striking. And I got a kick out of the sentiment and lightbulb image.

    What a fabulous page you created. I love the steampunk light bulb. It sets the whole scene. Is that a new set of TH paper dolls? I have two sets and these children are new to me. I absolutely love this page and am also pleased you shared it at Art Journal Journey using my hearts theme.
