Make a layered dimensional love frame using a 5 x 7 deep picture frame and a bold red colored heart painted with All-Purpose Ink Poppy Red. This project centers around a simple concept—create layers of hearts and floating like sense with a background that allows light to pass through too. The Vertigo sheets create a blur effect without dominating the picture. The bold red heart stands out from all decorations used, enhancing the purpose of the frame.
Skill: Intermediate
Time: 1 hour
Directions
Step 1
Make the hearts with a heart shaped mold and paper clay. After you cast the heart and let dry fully, color with the All-Purpose in Ink Poppy Red color. All-Purpose Ink works beautifully on all types of surfaces such as fabric and wood, so it is a natural fit for the paper clay.
Step 2
Cut a 2 ½ x 7-inch long piece of the white cardstock and fold in a border about ½ inches on the short edges. Adjust the folding to the inner dimension of your frame if different.
Step 3
Stamp the Valentine theme words from the stamp set with the VersaFine Clair Nocturne.
Step 4
Die cut Vertigo sheets in heart shapes (or cut with scissors).
Step 5
Place Tear It! Tape on the folded edges of the cardstock piece at the non-stamped side.
Step 6
Set the cardstock piece in the frame with the Tear It! Tape previously placed on the top and bottom sides of the frame.
Step 7
Glue the red heart in place as shown in the photo above.
Step 8
Twist pieces of wire (as springs) to use holders for the Vertigo hearts.
Step 9
Glue on the side to the inner bottom of the frame and place the Vertigo heart.
Step 10
Stamp the cupid design with the VersaFine Clair Nocturne on a piece of Vertigo sheet and set it on a heart inside the frame.
