Valentines Wreath – Diemond Dies DTP | CraftyPaws

I made this cutsie Valentines wreath representing me and Mr. CraftyPaws, recycling some cardboard, die cutting lots and lots of hearts with the Diemond Dies Nesting Heart Die Set, adding a little pom pom trim, and Copic coloring up a couple of new-to-me The Greeting Farm stamps that I picked up on eBay recently (the girl, Krystal is one of my favorite stamps–I’d been pining for her since I first saw her)!

I used the following Copic colors for the girl (Krystal from the Super Secret Stamp Club Collection) and boy (Sunday from the Creeper Crew Collection):
Krystal: Hair: B02, C6, C9; Skin: C51, E53, E21, E11 and R20; Boots: C4, C6, C9; Scarf: RV52, R83, RV55; Eyes: E79 with white highlights added with a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen
Sunday: Hair: E55, E57, E59, E79; Skin: E000, E00, E21 and R20; Jeans: RV52, R83, RV55; T-Shirt: C4, C6, and C9; Long undershirt: C1, C2, C6, and C9; Eyes: E59 white highlights added with a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen
I also did a bit of paper piecing with some pale teal tiny polka dot paper that I shaded with B000 and B02 for the girl’s bow and dress and the boy’s scarf.

I used papers from the Doodlebug Designs “Lovebirds” collection that had lots of pink and bits of red and teal. I also inked up the edges of each die cut heart with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Picked Raspberry, and I layered the die cut hearts with fun foam to give the hearts extra dimension. I also added tiny white pom pom trim around each of the hearts (although I ran out before I was finished and had to do some tricky MacGyvering to make all the hearts look complete–check out the video for the secret) to add a bit of whimsy. Lastly, to create the hanger I used white, pale pink and medium pink seam binding to create a soft triple loop bow and hanger.
