Hi Everyone

This weeks make had to be a heart with Valentines day only a few days away, so with a That's Crafty! MDF heart and the sewing machine out I set off with this weeks make. 

This is What I Did:

I started with a piece of heavy card stock, or you could use water colour card, and tapped Distress inks onto my craft mat and lightly sprayed with water and then randomly picked up the ink with the paper building up the colours onto the card. Once the card was dried I stamped a variety of the hexagon stamps from the AALL & Create hexagon set using Vintage Photo Archival ink and cut them out. Not all the hexagon stamps were the same size so I used one as template and cut the others to the same size so it would allow me to piece them all together. I glued them altogether onto a piece of copier paper before stitching around each hexagon. To get the stitching around the edge of the heart I drew around the heart on top of the background piece and then used that as a guide to stitch around before sticking all this to the MDF heart and trimming and sanding the edge. I then inked around the edge to finish the edges off.
