A Few Hearts

 The western parts are tin cut outs, that I used for the inside of the metal hearts-after I attached paper to the insides and to the backs.  On the back I added a stamped word.

 The images are die cuts. I attached paper to the insides and than attached the images.

I added images also to the backs.
