Raining In My Heart

It was not a particularly sad day when I created this page, but it seemed to evolve in to sad page.  Subliminal, perhaps?

 I started with a neutral background, adding some text collage pieces.  

The bold red heart came next.  I was going for contrast against the background.  

To continue with the contrasting theme, I added bright blue paint drips from the top of the page.  

When the paint ran over the heart, it became rain.

I finished off the page with some stenciling with texture paste and  black spatters.

The rainy heart seemed to call for the text "stiches."

The chevron stamp was one I hand carved.
