A Mosaic Heart Template for your Valentine Pages

I love it when I participate in a challenge and it inspires me to try something new.  The challenge I tackled this month was to create a mosaic heart in a layout, how perfect for Valentine's Day.  I liked the result so much I decided to share it with you.

I wanted my mosaic heart to be neat and clean with pretty patterned papers.  I drew the heart in Inkscape and then built a sketch and layered template to share from that image.  Here is my layout using the mosaic heart titled "You make my Heart sing."

I created my layout using a kit called "Brighter Days Ahead" which is a collaboration kit by several designers available at Sweet Shop Designs.  The heart is composed of 1" squares.  I used four different colors of patterned paper.  If you are a digi scrapper, there is a separate layer for each color in the digi template.  Here is the sketch for our paper scrappers.

I have a separate image of just the heart so that those of you who want to build your mosaic heart from paper can trace the heart.  Here is the image of just the heart.

This could be a good project to use up some of those pretty paper scraps you are saving.  If you are like me it's hard to throw away a beautiful scrap of paper, I save them all for projects like this.  For our digi scrappers the .PSD file can be downloaded by clicking the link below.

Hope you find some inspiration to scrap something you love, and add a mosaic heart to your page!
