A weekend with " Love layout for Couture Creations DT"

# couturecreations

Hello there!!

Today I am sharing a layout I created with the gorgeous new Hearts Ease collection that has just been released from Couture Creations. This collection is just stunning with its gorgeous hues of purple and greens and sweet little violets tucked into pretty bouquets.

So today I wanted to share with you how I created this "Love " layout using the new papers, stamps and some of the new dies.

So I wanted to use the Victorian Square nesting die as a platform to create and build some clusters on . So once I cut out the die , I used a 0.1 fine tip black pen to dot on an outline. I then cut in into a 1/3 and 2/3 piece. You will see a little later where I place these.

I then wanted to add some fun dimension to the layout so grabbed a few of the new Bulk White Flowers which I then coloured with some colour shine. These flowers take the mist so beautifully and hold the colour so well.

I also find that scrunching and pinching the leaves while they are still either wet or damp really helps to also keep the flowers looking fuller.

I flipped through the Hearts Ease 12 x 12 paper pad to find some clusters of pansies that I could fussy cut to help layer underneath the white flowers that I coloured above.

Then I could not resist creating some sweet butterflies to layer on my layout from the Hearts Ease Borders and Butterflies stamp set. I simply stamped the image using some black ink and once dry, I fussy cut and then went over the wings with some Glitzin Glamour in Crystalina .

So now it is time to put the layout together and here you can see the Victorian Square nesting die below, that I cut into thirds . It is a great base to build upon.
