Hello everyone!
Happy Valentine's Day! Today, I want to share a new layout that combines a bit of mixed media, Fernwood and Warm Wishes collections in a modern way. Here is the what I created:
Isn't it amazing how you can transform the feel of a collection with a bit of color and mixed media!
I started by masking a rectangle on Foundation paper. I used the navy and blue art crayons, along with a stencil brush, to cover the entire area with the color.
I used one of the Fernwood stencils, a bit of water, and a clean stencil brush to lift off some of the art crayon. Then added splatter of diluted teal art crayon on the page.
I fussy cut most strips of the Burst Forth paper, and pieced them back on white cardstock leaving a small white space between each strip. I then used a stitched heart die (SCT Sampler exclusive) to die cut the hearts. Then it was all about assembling the page.
I placed the paper pieced hearts along with chipboard hearts from the Warm Wishes collection (and if you have an extra set of this hearts, I will definitely buy it out from you!). The warm tones of the hearts played well with the colors in the background and photos.
I added a few embellishments through out the hearts, especially to the joining points of all the paper pieces.
For the title, I am combining puffy stickers, chipboard stickers, and chipboard alphas. A bit of diluted art crayon brings the color of the background to the letters. To finish, I sprinkled a bit of Mica Distress spray to add the pop of shimmery pink to the page.
I hope you have a great Valentine's Day! Take the photo, and then used these ideas to create a project of your own.
XOXO
