- selected a color palette I love
- die cut heart shapes with my Slice Elite
- inked, dry embossed, and sewed the hearts to white cardstock in a grid design
- created a patchwork border and covered it with vellum to mute it
- used black and white for the photos, title, and journaling
Just like the proverbial little black dress, Clean and Simple is always in style! Practical Scrappers would love to have you submit a project for the February edition. You can email your entry to practicalscrapperslayouts@gmail.com, and put Clean and Simple Project in the subject line.
I like that. It's given me some ideas for my Feb DT submission. (I may have to change tack at the last minute - my stash order hasn't arrived and I am moving towards mild panic mode!)
ReplyDeleteI love to look at clean and simple layouts, but I do find them hard to achieve myself. You have pulled this off perfectly!
