Paper Heart Art
With Cupid stringing his arrow, I thought I should start adding a few touches of love around the house.
This project has great Valentine’s balance in my opinion…
it’s sweet, but not drowning in a sea of red & pink.
Cozy. Cottage. Cute inspired the idea with this beautiful butterfly print.
I followed her advice of marking my canvas with a grid, to try and keep my rows & columns straight.
I punctured each vertex with my Sharpie pen, leaving behind dots to guide my heart arrangement.
{Side note: I LOVE Sharpie…don’t you!! And their pens, to.die.for.}
I did a little multiplying and figured I needed 24 hearts.
I decided on 20 pebble grey (at least that is what the paint chip calls it), and 4 paper bag brown.
I punched out each heart using this handy gadget.
The using glue dots, I attached each of the grey hearts.
{I first tried one big paper brown heart, but wasn’t in LOVE yet.}
Using a mini stamp set found at Tar-jay {aka Target}
I stamped out L.O.V.E. on each of my paper bag brown hearts and attached.
Finally, I made a little handmade baker’s twine,
and tied it in a little bow about 1/3 of the way down.

Very cute! I love paper creations. Stopping by from lil luna link party!
This is darling. Thanks, Shirley
Oooh, LB, this is pretty cute! It's great on with just the paper hearts, but you added just the right touch with the twine. And way to not glue the hearts totally flat, looks awesome!
