Incognito Heart - Inspiration Avenue Creative Challenge

 I loved this week's IAE challenge theme - "Incognito".

I'm fascinated by things that are hidden or have been concealed. 
 For this canvas I played with different ways of doing this. On the first tag I hid a note in a tiny envelope; on the second tag, one button is real and the others are faux (incognito paper - disguised as buttons!).  

For the third tag I partly concealed a heart with translucent ribbon. And finally, I had to add a little key ... to unlock all the secrets!
 This canvas measure 7 x 5 x 0.5" andwill be posted in my etsy shop today.

You can find all this week's challenge entries by clicking here. We'd love you to join in the challenge next week too - a brand new theme is posted every Monday :)

  7. Hi Angie!

    You might change your mind about me naming my cat after you! While it's true that we did name her Angela, our angel kitten, we soon flipped it over to Angela the Demon Cat! A little oxymoronic, but much more apropos!
