Pretty paper hearts,

This weeks theme on pretty paper hearts is to use Christmas colours of cream and white, I used a deep cream and gold back ground, white lace , 2 prints of vintage Christmas girls, paper holly and flat backed crystals in place of the berries in their hair, white braid on the front edge and cream lace behind this, the music paper is " O Christmas Tree ", I loved making this one !!!!!!

This weeks challenge is to make our hearts using our favorite Christmas colours, I love mauve and silver together so these are the colours that I chose, I don't know if it's the flash from the camera but the silver is not showing up as well as it should, I have used background paper with torn mulberry paper, the pansies are raised decoupage, the little girl is from Lisa's Altered Art, I gave her a pair of wings from my stash, stamped and silver embossed patterns with inked edges to finish ! It's been another great theme, I hope that you like the heart that have made !

My first Pretty Paper Heart

Today I found a challenge site for making and showing decorated hearts, as I love to make hearts this for me is a great challenge site to join, you can make hearts in any medium that you like to work with,

The theme this week is "Party" so mine is made with papers on card, left hand side is stamped then overlayed with organdie, top right is needle felted organdie the picture of the smiling girl is stamped onto cotton and machine sewn into place, there is a little stamped star that says Party, braid and fibres to finish it.
