Valentine's Day card with rusty frame

Hello everyone, I would like to show you my rusty Valentine's Day card.

And I start - in medias res - with a tutorial. 

First, I cut out a rectangle panel, then I placed the biggest Stacked Baroque die in the middle and I run it through the Sizzix Big Shot.

Then I added Grit-Paste directly to the surface with a palette knife but then I tapped the whole surface with a piece of sponge to achieve a really textured, a more rough surface.

When it was completely dry, I coloured the surface with the following paints: DecoArt Media Antiquing Cream, Transparent Red Iron Oxide, Quinacridone Gold and Burnt Umber.

I inked the edges with Black Soot Archival ink.

Then I inserted 4 Hex Fasteners to the corners.

What I used:

Sizzix Bigz Die, Primitive Hearts

Sizzix Thinlits die, Stacked Baroque by Tim Holtz

Idea-Ology, Hex Fasteners

Idea-Ology, Angel Wings Adornments
