Free Kisses

This little wooden plaque has been squirreled away for several years now.  I rediscovered it a few months ago, but still it lingered on my craft table...primed white, but still blank...waiting for me to give it life.  This weekend I was inspired by a cute vintage Valentine image found at Vintage Holiday Crafts and the little wooden plaque has finally come alive!


Just a Few Details:
  • I am loving Claudine Hellmuth Studio Matte Multi-Medium lately!  It adheres incredibly well, provides a nice thickness and protective layer to paper embellishments, and the matte finish is just right.  On this piece, I decopaged the background paper and the central image using the Matte Multi-Medium.  I also coated the ticket and the banner with it to give them more substance since this is a decorative piece that I want to last for many years.
  • The red heart is chipboard that has been colored with Barn Door Distress Stain and glittered.  The Tim Holtz heart charm was painted pink, sanded, then covered in Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel for a worn/chipped enamel appearance.

Isn't the saying on the stamped ticket just perfect for the image?  So cute...  The little wooden plaque languishes no longer!  :-)
