digital heart print

Last weekend we spent the weekend packing up & putting away our Christmas decor & Lydia was not so happy about this :)  I told her we'd make up some Valentine's Day decorations to put up around the house, so I thought I'd show you a little of what I'd done.  I started with this print...

you could do one up like this too if you have a program like photoshop or photoshop elements. All I did was open up a new file 8.5x11 inches & I had a heart shape from one of my kits that I used for a clipping mask.  Basically I kept duplicating the heart layer & placed them how I wanted them until I filled the area I wanted to use {I did mine so it would fit in a 8x10 frame with extra room around}.  Then I picked my papers... I used Jen Allyson's Vintage Findings Pink Paris & Antique Prints Digital Papers.  I clipped a the papers sort of in a random order in each heart until I got the "look" I wanted.  Next I added the stitching over them.  For this I used my In Stitches Neutral Basics kit {this one's the tan straight stitch}.  For the background I used the lined paper from my Feels Like Home September kit & then added the Plain paper from Jen's Antique Prints kit over top as an overlay.  With a little drop shadow on the hearts, it looks just like you cut them all from "real" paper with no mess!  I just love how it turned out & it looks so sweet in my chunky distressed black frame that I revolve my seasonal prints in.  I hope you'll try one for yourself!
