Bloody Valentine Blog Hop!










"And, straining, fastens on her lips a kiss,
 That seemed to suck the life-blood from her heart!"

Edgar Allan Poe

This inspired me to make a card using 'bleeding heart' images...


I printed both my images
 (Bleedinghearts300 from British Isles Artworks and 'bleeding hearts' by Rebecca Sinz)
 on watercolour paper and then watercoloured them with Memento Re-Inkers.
I tore out each image and then distressed them with 'scattered straw' distress ink.
Each image was matted onto handmade paper and then layered onto a beige card base.
Finally I added a metal heart.

This was my DT card for LOC Challenge Blog as part of the


I am also submitting this to



Happy Crafting!
