Heart Frame

Hi everybody.  I am still doing some tangling and I saw an idea for making this heart frame..the tangle is called Funsin, and the central pattern is called Florz, and so I decided to draw it and make it into a card. 

I decided to use a purple and a pink marker from a set of ten pens which I bought a few weeks ago in one of the cut price shops at what I thought was a very reasonable price.  They are called Emott and made by Mitsubishi.  I used pencil and then went over it with the two pens when I was satisfied with the outline.  I do some tangles freehand using just a pen but this needed to be even on all sides and the hearts similarly sized.  I used another tangle called Florz in the centre inside a scalloped edge to which I added some pencil shading to give it depth, using a paper stump/tortillion to blend it in.  I then found a lovely ornate frame embossing folder, so old I'm afraid I don't know who made/makes it and think probably not available any more.  It does have an extra line around the outside to make a double frame, but to make it fit more comfortably I cut that off.  I also mounted the piece onto some pale pink vellum which makes it stand out more from the white background.  I have now sent this as an anniversary card.

Thank you for joining me here today and I hope to see you again soon.
