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.
