3. Select colors from your stamp pads, watercolors, or craft paints.
4. Starting with the lightest color first, make fingerprints all around the heart. For the best effect, be sure to overlap from the taped heart to the paper underneath.
5. Press painted fingerprints close together and overlapping near the heart, and more spread out as you get toward the edge of the bottom paper.
