Always

My sons ... a few (13!) years ago!

For the month of February the More than Words Challenge was "Always & Quote." My favorite quote of all time is by Helen Keller, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be see or even touch - they must be felt with the heart." The greatest of all emotions is Love, and I don't think there is a greater love than parental love - Always.

February 2019 More Than Words Main Challenge

A quick overview of what I did:

• I first coated the Creative Embellishments Heart Flourish in the Prima Pastes and set it aside to dry.
• I started with some clear gesso on the background, then added the stenciling & embossing.
• All parts from the Prima Mould were coated in black gesso, then Bronze Age wax...and I just started stacking and arranging and gluing the ReneaBouquets Grid with the gears...And hoping for the best! LOL!
• Then the pastes ... layering and mixing and blending and watering down and building back up and drying ... and doing it all over again!
• The hearts & "Always" were both coated in black gesso, but the hearts only have Electric Violet Metallique Wax & "Always" has a mix of Electric Violet, Old Denim, and Mint Sparkle on top of Bronze Age.
