Mystical Scrapbooks February Cyber Crop

Good morning, good morning.

Today is the start of the February Cyber Crop over on Mystical Scrapbooks Blog

The theme for the month is Hearts & Flowers and there are three challenges within this them.

My challenge is to use stamped hearts on the background of your project.

I have used Uniquely Creative's Ocean Breeze patterned papers for this layout along with Colour Core Persimmon cardstock, Tim Holtz Kraft Core GX1920-14, White cardstock and Corrugated Kraft Cardstock.

All of the patterned papers and cardstock has had the edges inked with a black ink cube to help define each layer.

The Persimmon and the Turquoise cardstocks have both been gutted leaving a 1" frame.

The Persimmon cardstock has been torn around the edges

The corrugated cardstock was trimmed to 11.25" square and the white cardstock measures 11" square.

For added dimension on the background I applied Mont Marte Modelling Paste through The Crafter's Workshop Tile Texture Stencil

For added texture on the background I used Jet Black StazOn ink and a couple of little stamps (chevrons and tiny circles) to stamp randomly. I did the same thing with a small triple arrow stamp and Encore Gold ink pad.

The stamped hearts on the background (the challenge criteria) were created using a small triple heart stamp and Versa Color Turquoise ink pad.

My photos are 3" square and were matted on 3 1/4" squares of the persimmon cardstock I had cut from the middle of the background layer. These were then attached to some scrap pieces of chipboard so they had a little height when attached to the layout.

I cut a strip of Lighthouse Flowers to 2" x 11" and added that to the right hand edge of the white cardstock.

I cut a small tag from Ocean Breeze Cut Aparts, a large tag from Summer Days, a Striped piece from Sunny Side Up Layer Cuts and assorted flowers from Summer Bloom to embellish my layout.
