True Love Valentine Card

Hello again this week. Today, I have a Valentine card that was used in the Ranger booth at this years Creativation, which showcases Tim Holtz Distress Mica Spray from Ranger.
I cut a black surfaces tag a little shorter and then embossed it with the Tiles Texture Fade from Sizzix and Tim.
I misted the tag with Tarnished Brass Distress Mica Spray.
I painted over a piece of Water Color Cardstock with Peacock Feathers, and then misted Brushed Pewter through a mini Bubbles Stencil.
Using a Mini Ink Blending Tool, I stenciled Hearts over the card.
Once the paint was dry, I stenciled over the hearts again with Tarnished Brass Mica Spray.
I die cut a Baroque Movers and Shapers with Tim's Corrugate Textured Surface, and added Peacock Feathers over the raised portions, and then misted Brushed Pewter Mica Spray over it.
I cut out the Found Relative card, punched a Candied Apple Distress painted piece with the heart punch, and adhered it his hand.
I misted Crinkle Ribbon with Candied Apple and Tarnished Brass, and tie it on.
I finally added Botanical Remnant Rubs to the card, stitched around it, and adhered everything.

Maya Road Palette Valentine Challenge

Hello all! Today, I have a challenge project bestowed on me by The Crafty Scrapper, in which I needed to make a Valentine project using a  Maya Road 6x6 inch wood palette. Thanks for having me Crafty Scrappers!
I misted the palette with Tim Holtz Weathered Wood (of course), Old Paper, and Pumice Stone Distress Ink Spray Stains from Ranger.
Then I inked over the whole palette with Hickory Smoke Archival, and inked the edges with Vintage Photo.
With help from my cat Roxy, I cut various widths of wooden sticks to fit on a chipboard heart, to fashion a smaller palette.
I misted the sticks with different hues of red Distress Spray Stains.
I used Skor Tape to adhere the sticks onto the heart, trimmed around it, and inked everything up.
I stamped Tim's 'L', 'V', and 'E' Cirque Alphabet letters with Black Soot Archival, and heat embossed them with Clear Powder. The heart serves as the 'O'.
I colored in the openings of the letters with a silver Sharpie Marker, and then attached the key hole and key to the heart, before adhering it on.
I hot glued the Maya Road zipper the left and bottom edges of the palette.
I gathered several Idea-ology foliage pieces and metal flowers and beads and adorned the rest of the palette.
