Tribute to love

With Christmas behind us, I guess the next big day we like to celebrate (besides Australia Day) would have to be Valentine's Day. I was so excited when I received the Lime Tart Kit for January, and it contained gorgeous stamps, papers and other embellishments that I thought would be perfect to make some love-themed art. Here are some sneak peeks.

This first photo is of a canvas I put together using papers from the kit, a Paper Whimsy image, and other odds and ends. I stuck it all together using Gel Medium, which gives it a beautiful sheen in real life, but is an absolute b*stard to photograph!

This next photo is of a lay out I did using a black and white wedding photo (no, not mine!), and more of the fabulous papers from the A la Tarte kit. I just adore the colours Philippa put together for this kit. Yummo.
