Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge--Rainbow Heart

January-2015-PTI-Blog-Hop
I do love the PTI Blog Hops & I love making Valentines.  When I saw the inspiration (so nice they give it to us a week ahead!) I was immediately drawn to the heart made of pencils.  Thought I could use Watercolor Wonder with my Memory Box heart die & it worked! I cut the heart out of copy paper & then stamped over the negative with these PTI inks: Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Harvest Gold & Summer Sunrise.  My sweet friend, Martha, sent me the Wonderful Words: Love die cut & I brushed it with Wink of Stella.  Hadn't done any paper piercing in a long time--gives a neat effect, I think.  The sentiment is from Counting My Blessings & is mounted with foam tape.  The panel is also popped up & 3 white sequins provide the embellishment.  
Have to say, I love how this turned out--may have to make a few more! I'm also entering the challenges at SSS Wednesday & Time Out. Enjoy the hop--we're off to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather if the fog lifts, but I'll be back later with another card.

    Great design Greta! Love yourself use of Watercolor Wonder, that set always makes me feel like an Artiste when I use it:). I haven't seen paper piercing in ages! Who knows, maybe your design will restart the trend!

    Hello Greta,
    Gorgeous. Making a mask of the Heart to create your design with watercolours is very effective, the palette is perfect.
