LHB heart art

I picked up a 10 x 10 burlap canvas (on sell for less than $4 each, and decided to do something simple.
I know it is not "perfect" but this is a lake house and things should be fun and light.  I am going to see if I can figure a way to keep the hearts more in line on the next one.  But I still like this one.

  I made a grid on plain white paper.
Then I took a marker and dotted the center of each line on the grid. 
Dots on the canvas.

A dot of glue on each black dot.  Then I took the heart punch and punched on of each color from the color strip sample from my color wheel.

I am doing a red one next.

The tree hugger in me wanted to keep this paint wheel to be “useable” so I took one heart from one side.  As you can see still a very usable color wheel.  Yes this is a Sherwin Williams wheel.  I also took the stationary pin from the bottom and replaced it with a bolt & nut.  From my new home sales days.  I pull one color card out at a time and tape them to walls.  I have the "professional" paint kit with 4x6 color swatches as well.  Colors look very different depending on lighting & surroundings.
