Me Plus You

Yet another cute Pinterest idea using buttons and paint.  I don't have a link to offer because this is pretty straightforward.  Paint the canvas in stripes, add the button heart and 'Me + You'. 

First I cut a heart out of paper and used it on stiff red felt, then glued red buttons on it.  I didn't like the black stripes so I used Tuscan red on a small canvas.  I used masking tape for the edging and touched up any slight leaks with white paint.  The lettering was done with a red sharpie because there's no way I could freehand that with a paintbrush. Then I covered it with a layer of Mod Podge to seal it, although word to the wise: The Sharpie WILL run.  It's slightly pink around the lettering, unfortunately.  After the Mod Podge dried, I glued the button heart on.
