This design was made as a gift to give to a guest at a morning or afternoon tea. At the end of the tea, the gift is given to the guest to take home. It would also be a beautiful gift to give to a guest at a wedding.
I stamped the image on water color paper using Versamark and embossed it with Ranger Gold/Gold Tinsel embossing powders. The image was water colored with Tombow markers, I painted the inner portion of the heart with a mixture of Pearl Ex and Gum Arabic. Once the painting was dry I used a craft knife to cut around the edges. Deckle scissors were used to cut a heart out of Cobalt Blue Prism paper. I placed the image on top of the blue heart using SU Dimensionals. Using a hole punch, I punched a small hole in the upper portion of the heart and attached Ivory taffeta ribbon. The ribbon is long enough to tie the heart onto a doorknob or a chair post. I attached a gold tassel at the bottom of the heart, together with a bow and fuchsia rosettes. Tiny Kaiser pearls were used intermittently on the inner portion of the heart.
