Filled with love
Names of loved ones in the heart
The Craft Barn has a journal challenge on at the moment which my good friend Lainey from Cardmaking Paradise recommended to me. The Craft Barn challenge can be found here but I hope they won't mind me repeating the challenge, which is as follows:
"The theme this time is "FILLED WITH LOVE".
I should add at this point, that hearts are generally just "too cute" for me, so the challenge presented a problem. However, I loved biology at school and decided I could deal with the cute by drawing an anatomical heart. Using a biology reference book and several diagrams on the internet, I freehand drew this heart in pencil and then in pigment liner and then labelled it. I coloured it with Letraset Tria Markers and then used Staedtler triplus fineliners to journal the names of people I love inside the heart atriums and ventricles (as per the instructions). This is the first time I have used the Tria Markers properly. The work of ArtyRosie, a friend from UK Stampers, was very persuasive in tempting me to try markers and I must say I have been impressed at how easy and bright they are, although I have a lot to learn in terms of shading. Links to the websites of both Lainey and Rosie can be found to the right of this page and I highly recommend both blogs.
