My Ombre Paper Rose Heart Decor

Good evening my beautiful friends!
Let's make a sweet decoration out of paper for Valentine's Day!

All we need is:
- red and white paper
- one white cardboard
- a photo frame
- red ink pad and a sponge
- scissors
- glue gun

1. Measure your white cardboard to fit the frame.
  
2. Draw a spiral onto your red paper. It doesn't have to be perfect.

3. Cut your spiral out using scissors, making sure you have that round center, this will be the base of your rose.
  
4. Start to roll the paper, starting at the end of the spiral. 

5. You can play around with the size of the rose by letting it go slightly for a more loose effect.  
 
6. Then apply your glue to the bottom of the rose and close with the round center.
  
7. And you're done with your first rose. Repeat the same steps with your white paper too.
8. Here comes the fun part! Take your sponge, get ink on it and slightly stamp it on your white paper flower.

9. Now draw lightly with a pencil around your heart template on the white cardboard.

10. Using the glue gun, the last step is to filled in the heart with your paper roses. 

        This is optional, but I wanted to make it more personalized so I write something on it. "Forever Young!"

Ooo I love how it turned out!

Happy (pre-) Valentine’s Day!
