Heart Leaf Art

Valentine's Day is just a few days away and I just can't stop my brain from working on heart shapes. I've had a whole slew of dried leaves hanging around since last June when I decided to press a bunch from my Forest Pansy Red Bud. At that time, I announced my intention to use them for something Valentine's related. Then, in the Fall, I decided that I wanted to paint some of them. I liked those results, but still wanted to use the natural leaves this season.

I found a $3 red frame last week when I was out shopping with Jellybean (the best shopping buddy ever) and decided that I'd go ahead and frame my collection of leaves. After a bit of arranging and rearranging, this is what I came up with.
Total cost: $3.53 + tax (the $.53 was for the scrapbook paper background). Not so Valentine's specific that I can't keep it up on the mantel all year. Those leaves are so pretty, I'll have to be sure and press more of them this next Summer.

Have a Happy Day!

    Hello,
    I am absolutely in love with that blue paper looking wood. I saw it in the cardboard heart, could tell me the brand, reference and where you bought it, I have a project in mind and I think my role is appropriate.

    All you do is fantastic, congratulations.

    Thank you Best regards

    Lourdes

      Hi! Thanks for dropping by. I picked up the paper at Hobby Lobby. The company that makes it is The Paper Studio. It comes in 12X12 sheets and the style is Wood Fence - Turquoise. I hope that helps you out!

    Hello, good morning,
    I'm so in love with your turquoise paper that I did not give up on finding it. I sent a mail to Hobby Lobby and found neither, I've wondered if available of: "If you have an sku # I would be more than happy to search the warehouse again.". If it still preserves the packaging might please you could facilitarmelo.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    Thank you. A greeting.
    Lourdes
