Lots to do challenge this week is paper - and I have sure been experimenting with it!
(click photos to enlarge for a closer look)
When I ripped this piece from a large bit - one side of it looked roughly like a heart shape - so that's what I made from it. The corrugated cardboard got a swipe of white chalk in first - which gives a lovely vintage feel to it. Crafty Individual vintage images, and scraps of paper, lace, nylon, and bits and bobs.
As you can see from the back - it's not really a heart shape - but by adding layers of material etc you can make a torn piece of paper into any shape you like.
This one does look rather nice in real life.
'The rites of spring' hasn't photographed very well - it's hard to see the transparent pale blue nylon scraps which match the doll's dress which the little girl is holding. You can see a piece I cut and stamped and glued to the cream material though. In natural light it has a lovely silvery shimmery to it which catches the light.

I really love what you are doing using the card as a base. I didn't even think about soaking it to release the layers!!!!!! Thanks for great inspiration and a brilliant tip!
