Scrappy HeART Journal Cover

I have been working in this journal for awhile but never worked on the covers.  This morning I decided it was time:
True to the nature of the title, I used only scraps, well, except for the crown.  I didn't actually purchase anything special.  I used these tiny heart stickers that I had for years.  The background is old book pages that were placed randomly.  I sealed them with matte medium and then spread red, orange and yellow acrylics with a baby wipe.  I ADORE that technique.  I painted the hearts (yes, you read that correctly.  I ACTUALLY PAINTED SOMETHING) and outlined with water color crayon and white gel pen.  The borders are my painted deli papers.  I LOVE those deli papers.....
