Best Friends Layout

Here is the second layout I taught how to make at Crop & Create in Winnipeg featuring paper hearts made with Whimsical!

First I white washed the center of the blue polka dot B-side of Paper 15 with white acrylic paint and let it dry. While the background was drying I cut out all the individual rectangles of patterns from Paper 19. To make the hearts I folded each rectangle in half and cut out a heart by hand, varying the size and shape. I also trimmed three black & white photos into hearts.

Next I scattered all the hearts down the background, using adhesive on the centers only so the edges could bend up for dimension and interest. I added sentiment Stickers tone-on-tone to the hearts as well as Puffy Sticker and paper Sticker hearts. I wrote journaling with a black pen on the right side.

To finish, I tore a bit of the right and left edges, heavily distressed them, and then backed those sections with the rainbow striped B-side of Paper 05.

I hope you are inspired this layout in some way! I love lots of colors, hearts, and my guys :)
