Artful Days Spring Hearts Decorations

Hi all

I have had these hearts in my stash for about 6 years and this year i am determined to use up my old stash. I was a bit bored with the usual pinks and reds of the season so i went with a Spring theme. 

1. Paint the hearts with gesso and then texture sand paste.
2. Paint them with pastel colours.
3. Glue Sisal onto a few of the hearts and decorate with paper and silk flowers.
4. Add a few small glitter Easter Eggs.
5. Paint small resin birds with matching metallic paint and adhere to hearts.
6. Add Art Balls around hearts.

Craft Consortium Hearts Card With Gypsy Gypsy

Hi all

I have a card using the Gypsy Gypsy paper pad by Craft Consortium.

Cover a blank square card with Gypsy Gypsy patterned paper and ink around the edges with an ink pad.

Using a heart shaped nesting die, cut at a variety of heart shapes of different sizes and layer them together.

Cut some small hearts out and space them around the card.

Add small resin flowers around the card and on the hearts.

Finish by adding a sentiment cut from craft foam.
