Queen of my Heart

This heart with a sturdy hook is from Calico Crafts and I gave it a red white and blue makeover for the queen's jubilee next month  I used acrylic paints for the background spongeing stencilling and splattering (great messy fun)  The stamped image is on tissue and added with mod podge - although the heart has a smooth flat surface I played safe by stamping it to craft tissue first with some subtle colouring once it was dry  The little flag came with some cake cases which was the right size then I added the clock face and spinner which also had added acrylic paint  The words queen of my heart are in an old fashioned typewriter font supplies can be found at Calico Crafts  http://www.calicocrafts.co.uk/acatalog/index.htmlpplies
