Eclectic Ellapu Challenge #12 - Recipe

Hello Crafters!
It's time for another challenge  with Eclectic Ellapu. Laurian from the Pink Team has chosen our theme and it is a "Recipe". The recipe is 1 die-cut, 2 patterned papers, 3 embellishments (can include a digi image) and ribbon.  How fun is that? So here's my submission:
 
 I started with SU card stock - Sahara Sand - and added papers from a NEW 6x6 paper pack from MME. I used my distressing tool from Tim Holtz on the edges of the top paper then inked both of the papers before attaching them to the card. I just love the  polka dots on the reverse side of the "Love" paper. I cut the heart with a Tim Holtz die from SCRAP chipboard leftover from an old note pad. I inked it up with Cherry Cobbler ink from SU then used black ink on the edges.  I wrapped the heart in wire (soldering wire - don't laugh, I love that stuff!) then added the foam tape between the wires.  The wings are cut from the same Tim Hotlz die but cut from a SCRAP of flashing tape that I taped down to card stock first. Of course, I had to dirty it up with Stazon ink. The wings are attached to the heart underneath then the heart is popped up on the card. I turned up the corner of the top paper and added a piece of ribbon with a vintage brad (see how the design sort of matches the starburst behind the the love label?). Those are glued down with a glue dot - nothing else holds as well. I also added just a bit of Stickles to the starburst for a smidgin of sparkle. It has a sort of VINTAGE feel, doesn't it? Well, that's it. I hope you have fun playing along with this. So go check out the inspiration from the Pink Team and get started. I can't wait to see what you all come up with. You have until the 19th to post your entries at Eclectic Ellapu.

I entered these challenges:


Have a great day!
