Two Valentine Cards

Hi everyone! Melissa here for Gina's Designs.  I think these chipboard pieces fit so well with the Valentine theme.  On the hearts, swirls type, and the small piece of frame on the right side card I did the following:

1.Paint with white acrylic.

2. Paint hearts with pink Twinkling H20s and watercolors,mixed with Pearlex. 

3.Paint swirls with a mix of brown watercolor, and green acrylic paint.

4. Dry brush liquid gold leaf paint.

On the white hearts I put stickles over white acrylic paint.

Here are the steps to make the green leaves on the right: 

1. Prep with gesso.

2.Paint with green chalk ink.

3. While wet put on some green and brown watercolor.

4.Ink the edges with a green distress ink pad.

5. Apply a thick coat of crackle accent.

6. Brush on some purple Pearlex.

Thanks for looking!
