Heart of Mine - Donna's Love Grid Board

Hi all,

Here we are with another project for AVSC with the gorgeous Love Notes from Graphic 45..

I adore Graphic 45 papers and accessories.

You are not going to believe it but when I ordered the letter grid board from Aunty Vera, I did not realise just how big it was. It is gorgeous and so much fun to do.. I hope you like it..

So here is what happened... I started to spray paint this board and ran out of paint, I thought ok it's good enough.. I left it outside to dry while I did other things.I hear an almighty clap of thunder and then the rain bucketed down.. I'm sitting at the desk thinking yah water for my tanks and what garden I do have when it dawned on me.. Yep the board was still outside.. I run out in the pouring rain to get it, take it in the studio and it's warped all out of shape.. Oh no !! I thought Aunty Vera is going to kill me.. I let it dry then glued it together with E6000 and placed bull clips all around it and placed something heavy on it.. Did it work? You bet it did lol  (no heads rolling here Aunty Vera Phew!! )..

I cut 20 pieces of paper to fit in the grid board.

I placed these in the squares as shown after inking around them with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

You are not going to believe this either.. I wanted to use the gorgeous Love Hearts stencil I received in the kit and forgot to do it on the paper BEFORE I glued them down. SO you will see very odd shapes indeed as I had to try and squeeze the template in the small areas and spread the Modelling Paste mixed with a little Lava Red Inka Gold. Rustic I will say x

You can just see the hearts under the lace in this photo.

The finished Sections..

I made this heart with 4 circles and a square..

You can actually do this two ways.

1. Cut a 1 3/4 square and four 1 3/4 inch circles. I joined them together as show to create a template.

The second way is to draw a square and trace around a circle (here I used a paint lid)

I then traced it onto good cardstock and inked around the edges as well as the two folds..

Voila it's finished.. Just adhere a little glue under the top folded side (only on the other folded piece as this then gives you a pocket).
