Read the Step-by-Step Guide Below:

Step 2

Now, as you can see, I just did a die-cut of a clump of small hearts in a thick cardstock. Isn't this die-cut just gorgeous? After die-cutting, I used a paintbrush to remove and make the cut hearts fall off from the card which we will use as some sort of stencil.

After that, I put a couple of drops of the Free Flow magenta acrylic paint into the texture paste and mixed it carefully. I just love how the white blends with the magenta color.

Step 5

Let's move on to our main cardstock background. Before I proceed with imprinting of the stencil, I wanted to make it a bit of white so our hearts would stand out more gracefully. To do that, I grabbed an old paintbrush and flicked some white acrylic paint into our cardstock.

Once the splattered white paint dries, I'm going to press the stencil down and scoop some of our white paste and magenta acrylic mixture.
