Now you are going to cut your plain or patterned paper measuring 8.5 X 16.5 cm. Note! If you want the edges white you can 1. Lightly sand the edges OR 2. Use white paint. You will need a thin dry paint brush and you will then dry brush the edges. Use a scrap piece of paper to try this on first.

Step 5

You are now going to do the large heart. You will now need a heart template to make the large heart. I used a heart from a mini chipboard album and covered it. If you dont have a heart template you can draw your own heart or go to Google and search for heart templates.
