Another {HEART} and a GIVE-AWAY!!!

Yesterday was my day off and this is how I spent it:

punching out butterflies to create this heart. I made it for my PCS/Inkido dt assignment and used assorted Inkido Xmas papers, rhinestones, flowers, a charm and a ribbon. The photo is of Mats' hand (then 4 years old) offering me a daisy he just found.

Here's a close-up:

and here are some step-by-step instructions:

1. Choose a heart to alter (this one is from the local garden centre Intratuin).

2. Choose 4 different scraps of paper and start punching. I used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

3. Use a hot glue gun to adhere the butterflies to the heart shape.

 4. Cut out a heart shape for the sentre and ink the edges. Choose a photo and adhere to this centre heart. Punch a hole in the top centre. Choose assorted flowers, rhinestones and a charm.

5. Adhere rhinestones to the edge of the heart. Put a ribbon through the punched hole and adhere flowers and charm around the hole.

6. And done!! Here's the end result!

And now it's hanging in my dining room:
