"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.

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
