HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Hi crafty friends,

February is the month of love and this year the Valentine's Day fever has gripped me, although I have actually never celebrated this day.

But the other day I saw a beautiful Valentine's Day cake on Instagram and I knew the colors would be perfect for a Valentine's Day craft project.So I decided to go with a 12x12" layout and of course Modascrap offers the perfect color palette.

I started by coloring the background with a peach and a lilac shade and drawing a check pattern with a ruler and fine liner. Then I glued many layers of tissue paper under my photo to give it some dimension. Under the photo, I arranged diagonally many beautiful branches in white so it wouldn't be quite so colorful.

After all, the splashes of color were supposed to be the cute heart charms from the "Christmas Charms" die set. I just always cut off the little handle and I had the very sweetest little hearts that I have arranged around my picture.

I especially like the die cut lettering, one quite straight and the other nicely curved, a great contrast. The icing on the cake is the "Just Love" stamp from the "Mosaic" set, with which I always stamped three times in matching colors to the background.

I hope you like my idea and maybe adopt the colors or sketch for your own projects. Happy Valentine's Day and spread a little love.

Until next time, Mandy.
