Mosaic Valentine Banner
Hello, it's me Patti Campbell here to share some Valentine's Day magic on my first post of 2021 as an ArtFoamies Guest Designer.
I stamped each of the ArtFoamies four times on the watercolor paper using a combination of the Moonlight Duos.
Step 2:
I made a paper template of a heart, traced it onto the stamped images, and then cut them out.
I made a larger heart template and traced it onto the red and pink cardstock four times each and cut them out.
Step 4:
I stamped the Jone Hallmark stamp on watercolor paper using the Ranger ink five times, colored them in with the gel pens, and cut them out.
I folded the double bird images in half to make a single bird and then poked a tiny hole in the bottom for the twine to go through.
Step 6:
To make the mosaic look, I took one of the stamped hearts and cut it into several pieces. I glued the pieces to the red heart, leaving spaces in between the pieces forming a mosaic look. Then I repeated this with all eight hearts.
I threaded the birds onto an approx. 4 ft. long piece of twine. Then I spaced them out so the hearts would fit between them and glued them into place.
Step 8:
I took a red heart and a pink heart and glued them together around the twine in between the birds. Then I repeated this step with the rest of the hearts.
Step 9:
With the twine I created a tassel for the bottom and tied a loop in the top.
Hope you enjoyed my fun and easy Mosaic Valentine Banner.
