I hope you are getting to know us and seeing our different styles,
each one of us is unique in our creative styles - so there is something for everyone!
Spellbinders® create the most beautiful flower dies and today I've chosen to use
one of the newest dies - Zinnia to decorate a heart.
Firstly, I selected a wooden/mdf heart.

Spellbinders® create the most beautiful flower dies and today I've chosen to use
one of the newest dies - Zinnia to decorate a heart.
Firstly, I selected a wooden/mdf heart.
Using a makeup sponge I applied regular white paint.
Once dry I applied distress ink to the edges and stamped a section of the heart with
a script stamp.
I then die cut a heart outline using Classic Hearts from wood-grain paper.
You can see I offset the dies to make the top section of the heart slightly thicker.
Positioned this on the heart base and applied a strip of cream lace.
I then began to make the Zinnia flower -
I chose to make a very full flower and created three layers of each petal size.
(stop by on Friday for a full step by step tutorial).

The leaves and star florets added.
The finished heart.

What a lovely heart! It makes me smile. Thanks Robbin
What a fantastic idea to decorate the mdf heart. I must have a go at trying this technique out. Its really nice the way your heart turned out.
Your neutral colors really make the flower pop and what a gorgeous flower that is. Great card.
Very pretty Christine, I do actually prefer it before you put the flower on but that's just 'me' - I don't really do flowers or bows :)
What a pretty project. thanks for sharing.
