AMA: Heart Shaped ATC

I love shaped ATC's, so I'm offering them again this year. This will be a monthly series where every month we do a different shaped ATC. Here are the shapes for the year, just in case you want to work ahead. This month let's make a Heart shaped ATC.

Here are some examples of Heart shaped items that could be made like Atc's.

An ATC is sized 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Draw out and Cut your shape on your standard ATC size base, going all the way to the edges. Your ATC will still be 2.5 x 3.5 in size, just not the standard rectangle shape, but the shape of the month. This month you may be inspired by any type of Heart for your shaped ATC. Then color, paint, collage, etc. your star Inspired shaped ATC and send it to your one partner. You do not have to make your ATC look like the shape...meaning you do not have to make your ATC actually look like your shape; a tree for example...you could paint or collage a scene inside the tree shape, etc. Or maybe instead of one heart, your ATC is of two hearts. It's up to you how you interpret the challenge, as long as it's the shape of the month.

Your ATC may be made in any direction. They may be made using any art mediums. Please no store bought stickers....you're more than welcome to hand make any art stickers. Please sign and date the back of your ATC, with your artist info. These are miniature works of art, made by you. Have fun creating them.
