Have a Heart

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Fun With Foil  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

What a treat it's been having Pauline with us this month! I've enjoyed your wonderful creative sense and look forward to more.  

This week the challenge is: HAVE A HEART

How about a little Bot Love today? 

I created this page in one of my many art journals.

 I began with an ink smooshed background in pinks and red on watercolor paper. Once the ink dried, I splattered some water on it, waited a few seconds and lifted it with a paper towel. 

 I sprinkled a little Color Burst on a couple of areas, and spritzed a bit of water on it. 

I really like this heart stamp from Picket Fence. It reminds me both of tree rings and a topographic map. I stamped it in Mocha ink, and added some dots all around the edge. I splattered some gold over the piece.  

Meanwhile I stamped my bots, let the ink dry, then colored with watercolor.  

I fussy cut them out, and popped them up. Now, there's love,  botology style!

I stamped a heart, colored it with ink, and fussy cut. Then I layered these together. 

Bots...better together
