This is me and my husband. I tried to scrap one of these pics before in my LO "Adore", which is probably my least favorite of my whole gallery, so I decided to try again. And wouldn't you know it, this one isn't to my liking either, there's just something about it that bothers me. If you figure out what it is, let me know!
For those of you who do like it, I thought I'd give you the details of how I made this:
I cut the photos to a square size, outlined the edges with a black marker, and matted them on a piece of black cardstock.
For the background I wanted a big pink heart, but with some texture. I think crackle paint would have looked great, but since I don't have that, I glued tissue paper to some light cardboard (cereals' packaging) and painted over it with watercolour paint. I glued it to the background paper and added some black stitches just for fun.
I searched for an image of cupid on the net, printed it out and cut it out with my scissors and cutting knife.
For the little hearts I used plain cardboard from cereals' packaging again, which I covered (twice) with blue stickles.
I then added the title, which I wrote on white cardstock, coloured in with regular colouring markers and cut out with scissors and a craft knife, together with the lyrics from the Song Bird Scraps March Challenge, which I thought were perfect for this picture. After 18 years of being together with my husband, I still feel it's alright!
It still looked a bit unfinished to me, so I glued pink hobby rope around the outer edges and stitched around them with black yarn. This is the same 3D-stitching technique I used on my previous LO. Though it adds the perfect finishing touch to a LO (it really is a pretty frame), I think in this case the pink is a bit too overwhelming. I'm still thinking about cutting it off and adhering the then smaller LO on plain black cardstock, what do you think? Let me know, please, I so would appreciate your thoughts about this!
TFL and any input would be highly appreciated!
