Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back for the last time of the year with this duo of Valentine ornaments showcasing the ever so sweet Love Birds. And I had so much fun coloring on kraft cardstock for my Merry Mocha see-through tags that I decided to do it again with those lovely birdies.
So I started off by stamping the four birds, the branches, multiple leaves, flowers and hearts on a light kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator and Graph'it brush markers to color them all, and then used the coordinating dies to cut everything. And I don't know why, but when I color on kraft cardstock I don't feel the need of adding white highlights to my images, but in that case I did add a dot on each bird's eye using a white gel pen, just to make them pop a little bit more.
Next I created my two heart shaped ornaments following the same design for both, so here are the different steps for one:
1. Cut a large Scalloped Heart out of a light brown woodgrain cardstock, another one out of a dark kraft cardstock, and attach them back to back using liquid glue
2. Cut a
large Scalloped Heart out of a colored cardstock, and cut a heart shaped window
out of it using the largest Stitched Heart 2 to create a heart frame
3. Glue this heart frame on the woodgrain heart panel using liquid glue
4. Cut a small Stitched Heart 2 out of a darker brown cardstock than the one at step 1, stamp and emboss a greeting from Love Birds on that heart, and attach that heart at the back of the ornament using 1mm foam squares
Next I attached my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added hemp twine to create the handles, and tied bows that I added at the top of each ornament using liquid glue. And that's it! Very simple, but yet super cute.
I hope that you like those ornaments! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you very soon!
