When ever Stampin’ Up! demonstrators meet we always make swaps………

Now a swap can be anything, often it’s cards or Scrapbook pages, it can be business ideas or 3D items.  Since the incentive trip to Monaco is a first for the European demonstrators I wanted to make something that could be kept.  I love how these have turned out, I hope the demonstrators that receive them do too!

It’s a plywood heart about 10″ long, I have painted it with a mixture of re-inker and water, then stamped the back with stazon and the En Francais background stamp.  The the front is masked and stamped with Wonderful Words; Fine Flourish; Dot,Dot,Dot and  Vintage Vogue.  The stitching lines have been drawn on by hand and a marker and I’ve sponged the edges in basic black.  The string came with the heart blanks and because you all know I’m bow impaired, my wonderful Mum made the bows and then stitched them on!

I have made some Blue ones too, for the gentlemen attending.

Please note : Less than 1% of all demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year.
