I made it for the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #175
and the Less is More Challenge #278
The sentiment in Dutch means something like heartfelt get well, or get well from the heart...so that's why I chose the heart shape. Also the shape in the LIM sketch.
I traced a heart shaped die and pierced it with a needle, then erased the pencil.
I used red and white bakerstwine to fill in the heart, not in any specific order. In the 70's people used to do this with nails on a board, if you can remember ;-)
I stamped a few solid hearts from various stampsets as the diagonal.
Personally I'm not crazy about those hearts, I think I ruined the card :-(Anyway... tastes vary...
Mounted the panel with foamtape on a cardbase.

I don't think you ruined the card at all. The stamped hearts are really striking and draw the eye to your baker twine heart. Great technique! It's so distinctive and creates a wonderful texture. Fab LIM entry!
ReplyDeleteI am old enough to remember the string art with the nails, and I really like your interpretation of it here! I agree with Esther; the stamped hearts do draw the eye to the string art. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us this week at CC&S! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the twine in your card Maaike! So beautiful!
