Ok, so I have a confession... I don't do Valentines. But, I do love a theme and I particularly love themes when it comes to crafting (who doesn't?). After Christmas (the ultimate theme in my opinion), Valentine's Day does help to fill the post-festive-crafting-theme-void a little, and so this year I'm jumping on the bandwagon. So, with Valentine's fast approaching, I found myself painting a page of hearts with watercolours. I've been loving my watercolour palette a lot recently; it has a watercolour block missing and splashes of paint all over it from where I've dabbed my brush to remove excess paint and it has to be at least 10 years old (though Daler Rowney still make it, unbelievably!). But my grandma bought it for me many moons ago and every time I use it, I think of her, which is just an added bonus because it really is lovely. I decided to set about finding ways to use my watercolour hearts in a Valentine's DIY and here are a few ideas I came up with...

2. Print out the PDF in colour on a piece of A4 paper or card.

5. Cut out around the heart shape.
6. Stick the heart on the front of the card.
