I Heart Valentine's Day!

My kids absolutely adore Valentine's cards (and candies!), so this year I wanted to make something special for them to keep thier most treasured ones safe inside and I came up with this.  I made two pockets, one out of paper (top right) and one out of attaching a canvas square on three sides to the bottom.  Then I attached mini clothespins so she can hang her favourites on the outside if she wants.



I used a 12x12 burlap stretched frame (Canvas Creations - amazing)
6x6 square of canvas (Canvas Creations)
and the BoBunny Smoochable paper line and the trinkets
Tim Holtz Stains (Peeled Paint, dusty concord)
Tattered Angels Spray Mist (Pink Cadillac)
Paper Flowers (No-name)
Prima Flower
Dollar Store Ribbon
Harmonie Ribbon (with the ruler print)
Prima corner mask
Ranger white paint dauber
Tim Holtz tiny attacher
Canvas Creations wooden push pins
Canvas Creations raspberry clothespins

I masked the canvas square and used the white paint dauber and then sprayed the pink mist over the top.  The hearts are masked too, just cut out of a scrap piece of paper...
The flowers I daubed with the Tim Holtz stains and then sprayed liberally with water to allow the colours to mix and fade a bit. 
What fun!  Now to make one for my son... that might be a bit tricky!
