I love Valentine's Day! In the spirit of all things lovey-dovey I got inspired to make a fun piece of art for our bedroom... using lipstick! I have been pinning lipstick prints (on my valentine board) like crazy for the past few weeks. I love the simple visual statment that kiss prints can make. So pretty, feminine and personal.
First, cut a piece of white cardstock slightly larger than your frame or matte size. Go to town with lipstick + kisses! This step is slightly embarassing, but also really fun.
These are all the lipsticks I used, a few of my favorites!
Next, just frame your kiss print and personalize it with a note on the back. There you have it... instant, personal artwork for your bedroom!
What do you think? Is this something you would enjoy in your home? What are your Valentine's plans? I think we are going to take a little weekend trip to celebrate and relax. xo. Elsie

I've seen a lot of these around lately, but always thought they look a bit...common and boring. However, your framing makes all the difference. Love the big frame and monochrome colours. And the note is just the cutest thing!

Oscar Wilde's tomb in the Pere LaChaise cemetery in Paris is covered in lipstick kisses. It's quite something. Have a look here...

What a fantastic and simple idea. I might trying making cards like this, although I am not sure if I have enough bright lipsticks. I guess this is a good excuse to try out some fun bright lippys.

Love this! I saw it as a fun bachelorette party favor for the bride to be - have all the girls at your party give a kiss and then frame it. So cute!!

This is really cute? Have you ever seen people each kiss a piece of paper and sign it as a gift? My friend had us do it for her birthday last week and wants to do it for me for my wedding shower. It's really cute. Instagram here: http://instagram.com/p/VPXOSXsA15/
My other lipstick art obsession is this Reiko Kaneko mug with a print that looks like lipstick on the rim: http://www.reikokaneko.co.uk/retail/teaware/lip-tease-mug-gold OBSESSED! I tried to create it with Sharpie on a kissy-print stamp, but the sharpie wasn't wet enough, so I used regular ink, but baking it didn't set it like it does the sharpie. I'm still toying with the process, thinking about varnishing over the ink, but what varnish would be food safe...? Haven't figured it all out yet. But, it looks cute, don't you think? - http://instagram.com/p/VHoqbAsA_T/
