Love????

Have you ever had a boyfriend carve your initials in a tree???

  I think that has gone away much like a lot of things.

I remember walking through the woods as a child 

and once in a while stumbling across

a tree that had been carved with the young loves initials.

I would wonder if that was sort of a right of passage.

To sort of hold the bond together.  

I'm sure like a lot of young love it didn't last.....

after all it wasn't written in "stone".

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

This is what inspired my card.  

Love Lies Bleeding

It's a challenge at Haunted Design House.

I'm not sure if it the young loves blood 

or the tree itself from the mutilation that

took place upon it. 

Deets:

I used a kraft cardstock card base and then used some brown color core-dinations cs and ran it thru the embossing machine with the wood grain folder. 

Sanded it with a sanding block to achieve the bark look.

I cut out the heart and the wording with an

 exacto knife to create the carved look. 

I hand cut the 'blood drips' with red cs and 

applied crystal effects to make it appear wet.

I love how it turned out. 

Make like a tree and leaf ....

so you can also enter the challenge.

Until later, 'bud'dies.........Gotta split.......TFL!!!!!
