I let the layers of color dry and then stamped and fussy-cut flowers. For the yellow and orange flowers, I used the ephemera flowers from the Kitz and painted on the same colors as the title. This helped connect all the colors in the layout together. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM2aozVT7SIHYeWk2ziObjbxCUedcxLVEj4-M-uO1aeu30zK06e2weOKJurav96zkVy1BcgyB196Iu2AJ5i43vwa2kZDYzCEQAm9Mis2x4s8vmJzVp-yrMfQpQ4lbertAhrInw3JUWhlxoGmn_FQINCdqrL7lqwT43QyXlDTxUCvLfD3CmsbU76Br6hqnn" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM2aozVT7SIHYeWk2ziObjbxCUedcxLVEj4-M-uO1aeu30zK06e2weOKJurav96zkVy1BcgyB196Iu2AJ5i43vwa2kZDYzCEQAm9Mis2x4s8vmJzVp-yrMfQpQ4lbertAhrInw3JUWhlxoGmn_FQINCdqrL7lqwT43QyXlDTxUCvLfD3CmsbU76Br6hqnn=w461-h346" width="461" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the leaves, I painted on the greens and yellows used on the layout and layered them in color after color.

I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat, and made a mat too. I added layers of corrugated cardboard. The layer below the mat that's visible I ripped off some of the paper, poured on UTEE on gesso, and heated it. I taped on flowers, glued on beads and other items, and I brushed on Shimmerz Paints. I rubbed and brushed on gold and silver mica powder on different areas. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaQyQFOsxaE4uwdId3EcOFCzsLPigrcKY86d3Ic-U1ERPWzj8A7JVqoJnU-KjkdJjvaf5qHtbuWKEExQx-PO82PVvwLgYC3Wr4hbzk4vgwdLe5zkUB9sfJ8AUeOnboXt8sqxJwCdkjoyDWnQn4yP30ROWTmuMRbJo1PPH2rtjujZSLgYLvCrsmzI376gGq/s3868/IMG_1945%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3868" data-original-width="2901" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaQyQFOsxaE4uwdId3EcOFCzsLPigrcKY86d3Ic-U1ERPWzj8A7JVqoJnU-KjkdJjvaf5qHtbuWKEExQx-PO82PVvwLgYC3Wr4hbzk4vgwdLe5zkUB9sfJ8AUeOnboXt8sqxJwCdkjoyDWnQn4yP30ROWTmuMRbJo1PPH2rtjujZSLgYLvCrsmzI376gGq/s320/IMG_1945%20(1).jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads,glass beads,swarovski crystals,acrylic crystals, glass glitter, gold leaf,iridescent wrapping paper,chipboard, tulle,sisal, flowers, and bling and metal from my stash.

So I cut out a piece that measures 8x4.5 and placed it prominently across the top of my white cardstock. I then added a pink strip that I cut into a fringe with my herb scissors. At this point, I decided to machine stitch down the center of the black stripes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk2QgD_LTkwctgME1v_y84McRyJHhsKvPzgrA1ujF7uo6jwLlo6ZU4n2_tpNGQ1rcaVH7_PmvQUzJckSKxaDxEDGGs73ZBeCed0wg50ItTnnk8YsM6EArQg3SOr8I2SY1Kq2fxSxoc3c54eMWxdArcCbunGG1n14y-MEG6YSahkDiD6_fQFaxX0tMWm8RC/s1500/xoxo%20d1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk2QgD_LTkwctgME1v_y84McRyJHhsKvPzgrA1ujF7uo6jwLlo6ZU4n2_tpNGQ1rcaVH7_PmvQUzJckSKxaDxEDGGs73ZBeCed0wg50ItTnnk8YsM6EArQg3SOr8I2SY1Kq2fxSxoc3c54eMWxdArcCbunGG1n14y-MEG6YSahkDiD6_fQFaxX0tMWm8RC/w640-h640/xoxo%20d1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I painted this banner with Spritz - Happy Hour and Creameez - 1 Hot Mama</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5z9oBzwGuclMYcWFgOWuqilIrU6PFdTM_lTizkjoFfzkCVzfl80XJJ085UtpA4tqJmd26V3Zyq9rpH0dm6V16gQrOwvXA7uX-6VvUPlDgVVUC5ZhJTjElpUr-2YTAnhFEw5UVKvfzYMSui4bT-sWNW7vmlGBOMUVDMaZsgPmyNvAiu6-koTRC4qDolky/s1500/xoxo%20d2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM5z9oBzwGuclMYcWFgOWuqilIrU6PFdTM_lTizkjoFfzkCVzfl80XJJ085UtpA4tqJmd26V3Zyq9rpH0dm6V16gQrOwvXA7uX-6VvUPlDgVVUC5ZhJTjElpUr-2YTAnhFEw5UVKvfzYMSui4bT-sWNW7vmlGBOMUVDMaZsgPmyNvAiu6-koTRC4qDolky/w640-h640/xoxo%20d2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, I added some Coloringz - A Bright Fuschia to my page, then fussy cut the large X's and O's from one of the patterned papers to use as the title. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPE2umZzYFCtPHchkfQlBDs5uyFdhuxBGKpqV3p00K-jbERUYrSRm-KBeQ7gcj0myPyDm4V0sKY9tmNn5sNHXCMRFvdrfmz8UqTiCXeTMDOAK9h4cGlG-0pSPccwb7oupkdPF2lXoAICKDagGb-I3VjyJgrnKgJLJpAPi3qBNW6-x0aiHPEIKjpHEercYV/s1500/xoxo%20d3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPE2umZzYFCtPHchkfQlBDs5uyFdhuxBGKpqV3p00K-jbERUYrSRm-KBeQ7gcj0myPyDm4V0sKY9tmNn5sNHXCMRFvdrfmz8UqTiCXeTMDOAK9h4cGlG-0pSPccwb7oupkdPF2lXoAICKDagGb-I3VjyJgrnKgJLJpAPi3qBNW6-x0aiHPEIKjpHEercYV/w640-h640/xoxo%20d3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After adding my embellishments, I finished the page off with splatters and journaling. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGKQxmYVskl9KMIwtSjonHyJ50yL6Sr5HcCxfzf6mF4I7pCc-ukjXGziHB5a-TKATWKzsogPHDGSw8oRZF3m90E83-Nja_bXulAWqcX9B9zJAkFpVjR_pGffz5yzQOb2qPjZdHI2N0-KP0CjW6JGqm2fOlyFILXDVcpF5flRW4IxP_mMQezfOSV8zcTUD/s1500/xoxo%20main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGKQxmYVskl9KMIwtSjonHyJ50yL6Sr5HcCxfzf6mF4I7pCc-ukjXGziHB5a-TKATWKzsogPHDGSw8oRZF3m90E83-Nja_bXulAWqcX9B9zJAkFpVjR_pGffz5yzQOb2qPjZdHI2N0-KP0CjW6JGqm2fOlyFILXDVcpF5flRW4IxP_mMQezfOSV8zcTUD/w640-h640/xoxo%20main.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope you enjoy this layout.

I created this in the Cricut Design Center and was able to weld the words and hearts together to create one image. I cut this on textured white cardstock and painted it with the colors from the February Color Kitz. While that was drying, I added Distress Oxide in Kitsch Flamingo to a piece of Foundations mixed media cardstock. I also added splatters of all the February paints to the top of the Distress Oxide. I wanted the cutfile to have a tone on tone layer to sit on, and I adhered that down in the center of the page once it was dry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9xxYa2TnW1V7fxmZJXbLFDEqwOflAtPmOvSY2sWA22tA-7Pb2SLsXD-Wbat8KqChGBBByuWxk1w0DE-BEYXtJX7lw0ZNRzg09ZqU6KCO4DQ5uZhn6PWEW0ep5NAf0dF12J1RHCeiz65VrojUiWfTJ0MaiZowlZCpkyhYCOG42I85CbV_38I6aOqOJE8Lm" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="329" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj9xxYa2TnW1V7fxmZJXbLFDEqwOflAtPmOvSY2sWA22tA-7Pb2SLsXD-Wbat8KqChGBBByuWxk1w0DE-BEYXtJX7lw0ZNRzg09ZqU6KCO4DQ5uZhn6PWEW0ep5NAf0dF12J1RHCeiz65VrojUiWfTJ0MaiZowlZCpkyhYCOG42I85CbV_38I6aOqOJE8Lm=w438-h329" width="438" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then added my photos matted on patterned papers from the February Kitz.

It is made up of my favorite colors and I am so in love with black and white stripes! I new I had to use the black & white stripe paper in this kit first! I paired it with the fun black circles pattern paper. I thought it would be fun to use some of the circles as frames for my photos. </p><p>I trimmed the black and white stripe paper and covered up all but two rows of the circle pattern paper. To break up the two papers I created a pink scallop border.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF9aAUK8fev3TS8y4SVSAXT3b1VL1QVPY7_g5v_rmVpwRQbUqxl-MTmlC8TzW0o63pbhj2g556BGDG6t-PQFwxIKJxRDFu3jLXz59XbFQMYDNBiSTQl6jDf_ns1X5whEQ4liBnOsXarxdu_o4zgetOLvYSu6wAOfqLIgL9Ctb182j04n-iK5SVDW949yQ/s3024/Erica_Rose-Shimmerz_Paints_January_2024_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF9aAUK8fev3TS8y4SVSAXT3b1VL1QVPY7_g5v_rmVpwRQbUqxl-MTmlC8TzW0o63pbhj2g556BGDG6t-PQFwxIKJxRDFu3jLXz59XbFQMYDNBiSTQl6jDf_ns1X5whEQ4liBnOsXarxdu_o4zgetOLvYSu6wAOfqLIgL9Ctb182j04n-iK5SVDW949yQ/w400-h400/Erica_Rose-Shimmerz_Paints_January_2024_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>To add some color behind the photos I used the Cotton Candy Spritz from the <a href="https://www.shimmerzpaints.com/collections/shimmerz-paints-color-kitz/products/color-kitz-the-january-2024-paint-collection">January 2024 Color Kit</a> to add the pretty pink in four of the circles. I sprayed of the Cotton Candy Spritz onto a piece of plastic packaging and then used my paint brush to add it to the pattern paper. I made sure to add a little bit of clear gesso to the circles to help my paper not to warp. Once it dried I adding my photos with foam adhesive. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIi5nuCwbd45kA32DF6gr9aK8XKzgcewAdTbc2C_i_72wXcq0YCaikB_n4JOZUHx9Fa-HZ4McwQb_pkMTrUh9I3ZVaME8APzCxMAXFiW5sVhtQv1FfYZ0eSI9QaCIQqfZOa-5Z1VO_cC5Ggs5LUYqpQ8JZi96fld0x4kYXTrP7fDMEOWxcwMsvNEDHtM/s2025/Erica_Rose_Shimmerz_Paints_January_2024_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2025" data-original-width="2025" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioIi5nuCwbd45kA32DF6gr9aK8XKzgcewAdTbc2C_i_72wXcq0YCaikB_n4JOZUHx9Fa-HZ4McwQb_pkMTrUh9I3ZVaME8APzCxMAXFiW5sVhtQv1FfYZ0eSI9QaCIQqfZOa-5Z1VO_cC5Ggs5LUYqpQ8JZi96fld0x4kYXTrP7fDMEOWxcwMsvNEDHtM/w400-h400/Erica_Rose_Shimmerz_Paints_January_2024_3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>Next I added in some of the ephemera pieces from the <a href="https://www.shimmerzpaints.com/collections/shimmerz-paints-color-kitz/products/color-kitz-the-january-2024-paper-collection">January 2024 Paper Collection</a>.
