  | By Candy Greeter “How do I love thee…” Altered Heart Frame
Greetings! As promised I am back with another project using the tutorial I shared with you in the January issue of AWNB Ezine. I hope that you were able to give it a try. I used the same CS Designs “How do I love thee” background image to create my altered heart frame.
I followed the tutorial and changed the colors of my background image. I then printed the image on regular copy paper and glued it with spray adhesive to my frame. Using a crafting knife, I cut out the heart shape in the middle and any excess edges around the frame. I used ribbon to trace around the heart center and added my embellishments (vines, roses, bling etc.). Lastly, I added Stickles to my roses and sprayed the entire project with glitter mist.
Supplies: Heart frame CS Designs “How I love thee” background image Various vine Die cuts Silk flowers Stickles Ribbon Glitter Mist Bling gem dots |
"I
have been papercrafting for over 10 years and it is truly my form of
therapy. I work with numbers at my "real" job so I rely heavily on my
creative side to keep me sane."
