Lavender Heart Card
Send your loved ones a scented sentiment with this
lavender card, designed with a beautiful heart shaped 'frame' made
from lavender.
Materials:
Hero Arts Stamp - Lavender Square E1024
Dye Ink Pad - Purple
150 mm x 210 mm blue marbled card
100mm x 145mm pale pink card
95mm x 140mm cream card
Dried lavender stems (Click
Here for instructions on drying)
Purple and Green Coloring pencils
Clear-drying glue
0.9mm galvanized tie wire
Green thread
Metal ruler
Pencil
Craft Knife (optional)
Cylindrical shape (approx. 12cm in diameter)
Preparation:
Measure 105mm along each long side of the
blue card. Lightly draw a line in pencil, joining the two
measurements and gently score along this line using the metal
ruler and craft knife (or similar object). Fold the card widthways
along this scored line.
Construction:
Centre the pink card on the front of the blue
card and glue it in place. Adhere the cream card to the pink card
in the same manner. When the glued layers have dried, stamp the
lavender square onto the centre of the cream card. Allow the ink
to dry before coloring the stamped image with purple and green
pencils.
Loop the galvanized wire loosely around the
cylindrical shape several times. Bend the circle of wire so that
it forms the rough shape of a heart. Gently bend several stems of
lavender to fit the heart shape and tie it to the wire frame with
small lengths of green thread. If required, glue the ends of the
lavender heart onto the card, so that it frames the stamped image.
