Smudgy Antics Challenge Broken Heart #2

"We have all been there...crying our eyes out because somebody we loved broke our hearts.  If you haven't had a broken heart, I'm sure you helped one of your best friends mend their broken heart or watched your children get their hearts broken. This fortnight we want you ladies and gents to create a project depicting a broken heart or being broken hearted."  

Smudgy Antics Challenge is still open for 1 more day!  Get crafty and get your entry in.   Broken Heart is the challenge.  Click HERE and HERE to see what awesome projects the DT had created.  I was inspired the first time by the DT and the second by an entry done by CARLA. 

All Good Deets Must Come To An End

Heart
So hard to see, but the heart is puffed a little bit because I added some old dryer sheets under it to help puff it up.

Heart was colored with Cherry Cobble marker.  Antique Linen Distress Crackle Paint over entire heart.

Added Crystal Effects over to make look vein-ie and organ like.
Drips and blood pool also have Crystal Effects.

Black Sharpie to go around heart.

Flower
Crushed Curry and Smoky Slate markers for rose.  Pistachio Pudding and Smoky Slate marker for stem and leaves.  White marker for highlights.

Background
I masked heart and stamped Parlor Prints in Crushed Curry and Sanded in Cajun Craze, both Stampin' Up!  (retired).  Matted on Crushed Curry card stock and then on Basic Black card stock card.

Saying is from Loving Thoughts stamp set, Stampin Up! (current) and stamped in Black Staze On.
I used sharpie to re-write Never and cross out Always. 

All materials used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Smudgy Antics Challenge - Broken Heart

How great has 31 Days Of Halloween been?  I have been having a blast commenting and ogling all the great projects!  If you have not been there yet, start HERE!

I have created this little wall hang for the Smudgy Antic's blog which has a challenge going on right now called Broken Heart.  "This fortnight we want you ladies and gents to create a project depicting a broken heart or being broken hearted."  Poor girl has been broken hearted all her life and it has followed her to the afterlife.  She is forever caged.

Sadden Deets
I have used a digital stamp from Lacy Sunshine, Lady Heather's Curiosities Collection, called Eloise. 
Aqua Painter and inks to color.
I fussy cut her out then layered her onto another print out of her.  This was so I could cut off parts to help give a little 3D effect with her cage w/ broken heart.
I cropped the original pic and focused on the cage.  Printed out and fussy cut so that the it was just the cage itself.
Silver Sparkle, Cherry Cobble, and Dazzling Details (like Stickles) on heart, eyes, and cage.
Stamp in background is from Glorious Grunge by Stampin' Up!
Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, White Organza Ribbon, and Silver 1/8" Ribbon for bow.

All materials used are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
