Instructions:

Roll Merlot Makin's Clay® in Ultimate Clay Machine® on setting #1.  

Use craft knife to cut freeform heart shape - I intentionally made mine "uneven". 

Use craft knife to cut out areas one half of the inside the heart, repeat pattern on opposite side. 

Use the handle of a paintbrush or a similar tool to gently "soften" the edges of the cut out areas and the outside of the heart.  

Use the large sphere tool to add indentations over the surface of the heart. 

Apply red mica powder over the surface of the heart. 

Add gold mica powder just on the edges of the heart and extending just slightly over the surface blending with the red mica powder. 

Flip heart over and apply red mica powder to the back of the heart.  

Let dry 24 hours. 

Add gold satin cording.
