Hearts and leaves | Lisa

When I was sure my ink was dry I used my watercolors to paint the hearts in. I choose a green shade because it represent nature for me.


I used my 2 larger photos to make a little booklet on the left side. This is easy! I just line them right side against right side and add a washi strip to the right side.


This is a look at how I did a simple front page for the little booklet. I wasn´t sure if I wanted to use the bigger scalloped circle or the smaller circle as my accent so I stamped the sentiment from the Botanicals set on both so I could see how it looked. I ended up using them both! I simply layered them on top of eachother using a foam dot. On this photo above you can also see where I put my washi tape that I explained a bit further up.


I love that the little booklet makes the spread a little interactive!


Let´s move on to my second project that came together quite fast.




I really wanted to use those beautiful leaves on the Botanicals stamp set, and for this I used a teal colored ink. One of my tricks to create different shades when I stamp is to simple stamp twice. First I stamp one time with full ink and then once more with the leftover ink.


Here is a closer look at the finished product. Do you see the different shades? I think it makes for a more textured look. I finished the page with a label that matched my ink perfectly and more stamps from the Love love set, a sentiment sticker from the Everyday words set  and lastly a star from my stash.

Thank you so mych for stopping by!
