Book Page Valentine Art

February 3, 2014 By Meegan 11 Comments

I have been working on my Valentine Shelves and thought you might like to see the Book Page Valentine Art I made last week.  I am really liking it, AND it was easy peasy!!

Anthropologie Inspired Valentine Book Page Art

 

Doesn’t it look great for Valentine’s Day??  I love making anything with book pages, so I could not resist making book page Valentine art.

I started out with 2 book pages from a vintage dictionary I bought from the thrift store.  I sealed them together with a glue stick.  Using a cookie cutter as my guide,

Using a cookie cutter as my guide, and a pencil, I traced around the heart.

I used just very little paint, so you could see shades of red, not just a red painted heart.  Some areas are darker than others, wwhich is the look I was hoping for.

Valentine Shelves

This picture is a good example of what I mean.  There are various shades of red depending on how little or how much paint I had on my brush.  I tried hard to define the points and curves on the heart, so it didn’t look like a blob from a distance.  Besides that, It looks perfect with my Valentine Polka Dot Bunting I shared with you on Saturday.

Finding the perfect frame for my Book Page Valentine art was easy.  I like to use empty frames for decorating all around our home, this one is from the living room.  I placed the book page Valentine art in the frame a put it on my kitchen shelves.  Just the way I pictured it!!

What do you think, are you going to make some book page Valentine art ??  Let me know if you do, I really would love to hear about it.

Thanks for joining me today.  I have so many new followers and I am truly grateful to have you here.

Make it a wonderful Monday!
