Let's hold hands.....

Good morning everybody.

 

I created today's layout for All About Scrapbooks. 

 

It is inspired by LOVE, as it's been Valentine's Day this week.

 

 

I used Crate Paper's Heart Day Collection.

Love teaming the pinks with blacks and grey!!

 

I began with clear gesso on my cardstock.

I then added some grey watercolour to the background and some flicks of black paint.

 

 

I created some layering around my photos with strips of paper - some I cut, some I tore an edge.

 

I then did some fussy cutting and added flowers and hearts and hugs and kisses that I cut from one of the papers.

Some of these I attached with foam tape to give some dimension.

I also fussy cut a title from one of the papers as it was just perfect for my photo.

   

I added a gorgeous 2Crafty Handmade Heart frame,

 which I painted black and added to the photo.

 

 

I trimmed my cardstock, just a small amount off each side, and then adhered this to

a patterned paper, to create a border around the layout.

 

The final step, and the one that is most important to me is the journaling.

 

Have a great weekend everyone!
