We're so stinkin' excited to be kicking off the Pink Week series with our Valentine ombre specimen art:
First, let's introduce ourselves...
we are twin sisters Kristi & Kelli from Lolly Jane.
Our little craft blog is all about the DIY... from crafts to home improvement projects, everything you see has instructions so you can try it yourself! Come tweet, pin + fb with us anytime :)
Now that you know a bit about us, let's get this series started!
To make your own Valentine ombre specimen art, you'll need just a few things... paint samples in Valentine hues, a ♥ hole punch, a white piece of cardstock, a few craft tools you already have on hand and an 8x10 picture frame.
Directions:
1♥ Gather paint samples in coordinating colors
2♥Cut the samples up for easier punching
3♥Lay your freshly punched hearts in rows to keep colors organized
4♥ Lay your hearts in rows of 8 by hue*
*Most ombre art is light to dark but I liked the way the paint sample was dark to light so we went with that instead ;) Be creative!
5♥ Fold each heart in half and add a dab of hot glue to hold in place
6♥ Admire your work! This project took a whole nap time (1.5-2 hours) with the punching & folding but went quickly with my pal Hulu ;)
Easy as pie, right?
Hope to see you on our side of blogland sometime and a BIG thanks to cute Autie for having us this week!
