• 3. Here comes an easy part! Move onto the next border and doodle hearts within it

• 4. Channel your creativity into your design and fill in each heart with whatever takes your fancy! Why not try small patterns such as stripes, circles, flowers or wavy lines?

• 5. This is the easy part again! Add lines within the next narrow border and shade in alternate sections black

• 6. Express yourself by doodling semi-circle loops inside the next section, then fill them in with smaller loops

• 7. Breather time! Add lines and shade alternate sections in black

• 8. Now you’re well acquainted with your fine liner you can go to town! Complete the inner heart with doodles such as flowers, circles, lines and curves

• 9. Here’s our favourite part! Bring your work of art alive by colouring it with markers. For a professional finish try using just three shades. Once you’ve had fun with this cut out your finished masterpiece and attach it to a 10.5cm x 15cm landscape blank. Cut out the right side and lower right portions, then stamp a ‘Love’ sentiment bottom-left.
