This folk art love token is made from late 1800 French papers (cuff). The background and heart are made from a copy of a late 1800s letter. I aged and painted the heart paper. The back of the framed piece is covered with another French paper. It has a handmade metal loop. You can hang this by the loop or add decorative ribbon for handing.
The metal frame is early 1900s. It has a faux wood grain design. It has the original glass.
This measures about 4 3/4" x 2 3/4".
I always hand cut my hearts and hands with big utility scissors. No templates or die cuts are ever used.
