It’s time to acrylic pour! Picking right up from my last entry on the Acrylicpouring.com blog, I’m pouring on a frame, and that cute little heart frame was just the ticket! Now, push pins will not go into the back like they did with the canvas, so creativity abounded! A few pieces of cardboard, a …
