Ok, after 3 long hours of fussing w/ this shirt I finally got it. Anyone interested in making one can go to: http://members.tripod.com/cecilia_liu/shirt.htm
I made the shirt w/ computer paper because it is easier to fold. I made it smaller than the link above (I started w/ a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sheet of paper). I added the heart & the sentiment to the shirt using the stamp-a-majig. I took the ribbon, folded a bit on the top & took another small piece & wrapped it around gluing it in the back W/ a mini glue dot. I did the paper piercing tech on the black c/s (can hardly see it). I added the 2 eyelets to the left corner of the black c/s & stamped the hearts w/ white craft ink. My black c/s is 3 x 5. My white c/s is 5 1/4" wide, I did the tearing w/ the SU ruler.
Finally I stamped my LOVE sentiment in black.
*The shirt was fustrating but, worth it*.
