Go grab some watercolors, paint brushes and paper hearts (or love birds).
Starting at the top of the heart, apply watercolor which has barely been diluted with water. As you continue working down, add more water diluting the color as you finishing painting the rest of the heart.
Use whatever colors speak to your heart(s).
Allow your painted hearts time to dry.
Personalize your hearts with love messages.
I've decided to write something I love about Grace, on these hearts.
I'll add a new heart, to Grace's door, everyday leading up to Valentine's Day.
Or, if you prefer to be more pure of heart, leave your watercolor hearts as is.
Watercolor hearts. They kind of make my heart skip a beat.
Beautiful hearts, Amy!

ReplyDeletelove your watercolor hearts ... many moons ago i used wax paper and melted crayon shavings onto it (with an iron) and cut the hearts out of that. then we just hung a bunch in a sunny window for the light to pass thru them (similar to stained glass). such fun!
