REMEMBER this challenge blog is ANYTHING and EVERYTHING... except for Cards. ATC's aren't greeting cards...so please link up your ATC's!!!

Anything But a Card Challenge 12 is "SHARE the LOVE". This is the season of LOVE and is sure to inspire! USE anything related to love - hearts, Valentine's Day, Anniversary, Wedding, honeymoon, cupid, love poems, love songs, are you lovesick? The color red or even dark valentines, too. I hope you are inspired to play along and I can't wait to see what you create! 

This started out as a recycled paper heart chocolate box...you know the kind with Russell Stover chocolates. I saved this heart shaped box for a creative redux. I did a some altering and built up a layer of the Creative Paperclay® around the outer edge of the box to beef it up some - like a ceramic box would be. Then with Amazing Mold Putty, I cast a scrollwork heart frame ornament and also a scrollwork heart pendant. Using the molds I created, I cast both of these in Creative Paperclay®. I painted over the Looney Toon's characters adorning the box and the edging of paperclay with red acrylic paint base layer. Over that, I decopauged a red heart doily using 3-D Crystal Lacquer. I painted the hearts and finished off with twisty tri-colored wire cording and a mint green bow. This box is full of love and ready to hold a special gift.

Happy Creating with LOVE!!!
