HEARTS: Day 4

I am crazy for some ombre.

And crazy for hearts this week.

Here is a quick project that combines them both.

Yippee!

Scrapbooking border strips are easy pre-made strips,

and come in lots of great colors.

Select your palette,

then map out a range of shades

to create your ombre line-up.

Whole strips will be used for the heart.

For the hanger, cut a single strip

into four lengthwise sections.

For the heart, fold a full strip

in half vertically.

Use a 1/4 strip for the hanger.

Loop it, and secure

with a glue dot or

double stick tape.

Curve the ends of the full strip

around to form a heart shape.

Insert the hanger

between the ends....

......and secure with staples.

I love these big chunky hearts.

They make me insanely happy.

(Hopefully they'll have the same effect on your Valentine.)

Line them up,

...or hang in a row.

So fun and festive!

Be Mine,

Christine
