Fingerprint Heart Card
What you need:

- Black marker pen
- Scissors
Instructions:
Make a heart stencil by cutting a heart shape out of the paper.- Place your stencil on top of another piece of white paper.
- Using a black marker, draw a tree shape within the heart shape. Dab your fingers into the paint or ink and stamp them all over the tree branches within the heart shape, right up to the edges of the heart. Keep going until you’ve got enough leaves.
