Distressed Heart Balloons Outlined
Heart Pieces Set – Games and Toys
**Let’s get our gears a goin’ shall we?!**
1. Choose your desired papers, I am using my own papers I designed
*Hint: Cherry Blossom Wonderland available in my online store
2. Next paint your teapot surface
*Hint: I used a paint dauber and applied the paint in a circular motion to give the pot more interest and texture
3. Next, fussy cut your chosen images. I used my Cherry Blossom queen, keys, and cards
4. Water down some white paint and splatter the surface
5. Alter your border and heart chipboard pieces using acrylic paints
6. Start assembling your composition beginning with your frame casting
7. Add your flowers then apply your chipboard BG hearts followed by the flying card cut-outs
8. Once those are applied, add your fussy-cut queen, butterfly then the key
9. As a nice touch, add some white matte adhesive dots along the frame of the teapot
*Hint: I think these adhesive dots are cool and add a bit more quirkiness to the overall project
10. As a finishing touch, distress the edges with gold wax
*Hint: I think this technique really finishes the piece providing it a nice frame
11. Finally, add a card heart piece to the top of the flowers randomly
*Hint: I painted these with white gesso and added my own sparkle mix on top adding some extra glitz
*Here are some close-ups for you to enjoy*
*I hope you enjoyed your time with me today*
