Pasos a seguir

Draw hearts on the different cardboards and cut them out.

Put paint on the cardboard dish and use a piece of sponge to paint.

Wet the sponge in paint and give a first coat to each heart. Leave it to dry.

Put a drop of paint of a different colour on the heart and spread it irregularly on all the surface with a well drained sponge. Make the same with the rest of the hearts. Leave it to dry.

The hearts are ready. Now you can use them to make a greeting card or to complete another craft.
