Seeing red but in a good way!!!!

Hey there bloggers,
Well here I am again with a piece in red for the stampman, I wanted to make a small dimensional piece and have a plaŷ, So here she is:

I started with some crowded attic paper from the one and only Tim, which I coloured using fired brick and aged mahogany DI.I covered a small square arts part with the paper and inked edges with aged mahogany.Once dry I stamped a script over the pre coloured paper, again using aged mahogany.When dry I added a Tim flourish stamp, in gold dabber down the right hand side..I coloured a scalloped part in the same way to add to bottom, sanding in places and adding some gold dabber .
The flourish is coloured in fried brick .

The flower was made using paper coloured in same way as background and cut from stamped images using large flower stamp from The Artistic Stamper.I used a tutorial found here from Hels to get the hang of these fab flowers and boy am I hooked!!! I then spritzed with perfect pearls heirloom gold.
The little bottles are filled with glitter and glass pearls coloured using alcohol inks in a bag and smooched around!!I alos coloured the little heart pins!

I added a few more idea-ology and stash bits and voila!
Thanks for stopping by, your kindly words mean a lot!
