Wow! SO much squeezed into our fabulous Color Kitz! 

Here's what I created with these amazing products....

"Love You So!"

Oh my heart, indeed! Just look at those pretty pinks and reds! 
This would have to be one of the most beautiful color combinations of all time - SO good! 
& absolutely perfect for documenting my sweet girl with!
Here's a closer look.....

Hearts for the win!!!
I created this layout by spritzing & painting every color in the kit onto a small piece of watercolor paper. Once dry, I simply ran these papers through my die cutting machine with the Elle's Studio: Love You Lots metal die. I mixed and matched a few of the inset pieces, and layered smaller hearts over larger ones to create interest. 
I just LOVE how striking and effective this looks! 


Before adhering all.the.hearts to my white cardstock base, I decided to add a soft and subtle mixed media base. I took the new Pink Outside The Box Spritz and applied it across the center of the page using the packaging technique. I added lots of splatters and drips with My Bleeding Heart Coloringz & Blushing Bride Vibez too! So soft and pretty!


Next, I added my photograph, and glued down all the die-cut, painted paper hearts. I embellished with the chipboard heart pieces, as well as all 3 of the exclusive You Are Loved Dotz. I also hand stitched a few hearts using the golden floss (embroidery thread)! 
With so much pretty red and pink, I decided to use black and white embellishments from Elle's Studio January release to cut through the color and create balance. So striking!  


For finishing touches, I added both black and red ink stamped sentiments from the Elle's Studio: Love You Lots Stamp and a mix of both Red Rapture & Freezin' For A Reason sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps. Perfect! 



Simple, but really beautiful creating with the February Collection Color Kitz!
