7. Determine placement of the hearts and the arms, bending
the arms at the elbows for a natural look. Glue arms to body.
Attach hearts to body with foam mounting tape or pop dot. Cut
a slit in the end of each arm and place on either side of the
hearts.
8. Attach snowman and scrollwork to background (trim scrollwork
to match edges of background). {When
I was actually making this card I had started with both my background
and the folded card longer but as I was putting things together
I decided it was too long and cut a strip off the bottom of
each (note - the sizes stated in #1 and 2 are the finished sizes,
not the size before I cut things off sizes).} Attach
the strip cut from the background to the center of the open
area at the bottom of the scrollwork piece after first sponging
a bit of fired brick along both edges of the strip (you can
see this strip behind the flower trim).
9. Stamp Love on background. Write 'is in the air' with
black pen. Stamp small heart with flourish. Color in
heart with red pen.
10. Add gold paint to edges of layered background piece
using a sponge, let dry and attach to folded card.
11. Add heart charm and red gem on top of paper hearts,
black gem for eye, flower trim and gold gems. Finish by adding
red and black dots as shown.
