How to make

Step 1

Step 2

Start by choosing five pastel coloured pens from the selection case, a red, an orange, a yellow, a green and a turquoise pen were used in this project.

 

Lightly draw a rainbow with a pencil onto the card front, leaving room for the heart topper. Scribble some colour from each pen onto the acrylic block.

 

Pick up each colour one at a time with water, and paint the rainbow colours from the heart shape fading out.

 

Allow to dry fully.

Step 3

Use the template to transfer the caption lettering onto the painted rainbow.

 

Write the caption using the finest black brush pen.

Step 4

Punch out a heart from spare white card. Use this heart as a template to draw a heart shape onto another piece of spare white card. Use the rainbow colours as before to paint a rainbow within the heart shape.

 

Allow to dry fully.

Step 5

Using the finest black brush pen again, draw a line around the heart leaving a tiny white border.

 

Cut this out with scissors creating a little heart topper.

 

Use foam pads to fix onto the card front.
