- Use pliers to remove the heart pendant from the chain. Warm the clay in your hands, then form a smooth 3/4" ball. Press the ball into the heart necklace, filling it. Turn the necklace over and press against a clean work surface to flatten the top of the clay.
- Ink the canceled postage stamp and press into the right side of the clay in the heart, place the acrylic block over it and press it down. Pull up the stamp. Ink the vines and leaves stamp and press into the left side of the heart, overlapping the canceled postage stamp image. Ink the swirls portion of the stamp you wish to use, then carefully press only the swirl over the bottom portion of the heart and press down, holding the rest of the stamp up off the clay. Repeat for top right portion of heart with swirls.
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Bake the pendant for 25-30 minutes. Do not over bake. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool.
- Apply pink metallic cream chalk over the clay, wiping off any excess with a tissue or paper towel. Add purple cream chalk over some areas, working it in, and wiping off excess. Add blue cream chalk to some areas in the same manner.
