Floral Valentine Heart

I wanted a larger version of this heart I made last year.

 

Starting with this paper mache heart I picked up at the craft store.

 

I used my Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad to color the heart.

 

Using a sponge to color in the crevice.

 .

 

I made roses by first punching circles then cutting into spirals

using Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Card Stock.

 

Then using a piercing tool, I rolled from the outside of

the spiral to the center creating roses.

 

Tip: Wetting the point of the card stock helps to started the rolling.

 

For the carnation like flowers I punched scallop circles in

various sizes then stacked 3 together, piercing and adding a brad.

 

Using a spray bottle of water, I spritzed with water then

scrunched up the first layered scallop.



 

spritzed again and scrunched the second layer and did

the same with the third layer, then let dry.



Once I had a bunch of flowers made, I used a glue gun

to randomly glue them onto the heart.

 



 

Using the small ones to fill in the spaces.

 

Once the entire heart was covered I made the banner.

 

 

More hot glue to attach it and...

 

Voila!

 

 

The finished size is approximately 6" X 9".
