Colour and Ink: Love is in the air

Love is in the air

I loved what Lucy Abrams created with the "ripped paper" and stitching technique that she used here on the Hero Arts Blog a week or so ago. I tried to rip the paper edges after stitching.... not as successful as Lucy but decided to share anyway.

The plane (from PTI Tiny Treats - Valentines) looks disconnected in the photo above but in the top photo the machine stitching holes are clearly evident.

A quick card share today - hope you have a wonderful day.
