Instructions

Apply the Translucent Embossing Paste to the MDF heart with the Long Hearts stencil, this is for both sides.

Once dry swipe on a mix of the paints, aim for a shabby appearance. Also apply the paints to scrap piece of cardstock and wooden frames. (For the cardstock I applied the paint with a baby wipe as I wanted only a hint of colour.) When dry, stamp Adore and My Heart, cut into word tiles with edges inked and apply Liquid Glass.

For the wooden frames, onto one frame stamp Messy Writing then apply Liquid Glass.

Before adhering the frames and words, create holes in the heart. Now, adhere the frames and sentiments and to complete the heart, attach chain and various beads.

The heart is ready to be displayed. 

Until next week,
