Love and Hope

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my previous post for my daughters painting and she would like to thank you all.
My card today was inspired by the Tracy Evans live on FB.The background was brayered with a Decoart acrylics(neglected stash) which I went slightly heavy handed on.
Then brayered pale grey acrylic onto a TH stencil then put onto background reverse side down.
Homemade texture paste through the same stencil
I stamped with a grunge stamp from Studiolight once onto the background,then onto more painted card and a bookpage,then layered the hearts and words,with thread added under the hearts,added a can ring pull and splatters to finish.

Gorgeous card, Carol. I like Tracy's stuff - she makes it look (as it is, really) so easy! This is beautiful and your home made grunge paste makes it even more unique. I made some, too but not sure I'm over fond of it, lol.
