Haunted Design House - Hangman's handiwork

Happy bank Holl every one,Sun has been shining here today for a change.
 It's time for a new challenge over at Haunted Design House this fortnight the theme is Hangman's Handiwork, basically we want to see you use a knot somewhere on your project.
 Head on over to HDH to see what the DT have come up with and remember there will be more next Monday.
 I decided to tie up a heart for my make. i took a shadow box frame, painted the inside of the box with Decoart acrylic paints and added some washes to age it up.
 The frame was decorated in a finish learnt on an Andy Skinner on line workshop, Book Of Ruination.
 This was again painted with Decoart acrylic paints and given some dry brushing and washes.
 The heart was a plain wooden heart I picked up in Brighton, It has been given a base coat of acrylic and a top coat of Crocco Crackle glaze in purple.The heart was glued into the box on top of a stack of card to pop it out.I added three eyelet's and ran a suede tie through and used my 'Knot' to keep the heart trapped inside. To finish off I added the Tim Holtz thing and added the word caution.
 Thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you over at Haunted Design House.

    The frame is outstanding! Love the texture and color. So creative to use the eyelets as rings to hold the suede. Wonderful piece.

    Sorry I didn't get round to comment earlier-I just am loving this piece and it's quiet simplicity of shape and colour but making such a strong statement-great job.
    Cheers

    I thought I already commented on this one. Just WOW is all I can say. Freakily brilliant and just so darn classy to boot. You certainly are the talented crafter. x
