Let's hold hands by Tammy Klingner

Good morning everybody.   Today's layout 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.    Well that's it from me this week.   Have a great weekend everyone!   Love Tam xx   Products used: Crate Paper Heart Day Paper - Snuggles  Crate Paper Heart Day Paper - Adore You Crate Paper Heart Day Paper - Hugs and Kisses Crate Paper Heart Day Paper - La La Love Simple Stories Love & Adore Paper - sealed with a kiss White Bazzill 2Crafty Handdrawn Heart Frame Dylusions Paint - Black Marble Prima Watercolour Pencil Set - The Basics Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Sticker Sheet
