I'm happy with the results. Used Distressed Inks on an acrylic block, spritzed with water and applied to some watercolor paper. Added a little Gesso to try and get a windy effect. Stamped the image in Versafine and colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. Stamped the sentiment in the corner. I was trying to decide on an embellishment to put across the bottom. Was thinking of a sailors knot, when I got on You Tube to find a tutorial, I came across this video for a Celtic Heart knot - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yo5nSXND5o. It took a few tries but I think it turned out pretty nice in the end. Thanks for stopping by! God bless!
