Step-by-step

Step 1

Using a pencil, sketch out the shape of a heart on the canvas. Paint the canvas background around the heart with red or crimson acrylic paint (not forgetting the edges of the canvas!). With the flexible nib of the edding 1455 calligraphy marker, write the names of the bride and groom across the top of the heart.
