St. Valentine

I created this layout while at the Papermaze crop today - however, just for a change, this was not a challenge or a D.T. piece. I loved this photo of my daughter at a recent LARP event. She was playing St. Valentine and was handing out flowers at a festival. 

When I saw the Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Sand and Sea collection - Rest & Relax paper, I  knew it was ideal for the colours and the flowers in the photo.




I used:
Smooth White & Dark Blue Bazzill Cardstock
Simple Stories, Simple Vintage Sand and Sea collection - Rest & Relax & Cardstock Stickers 
Stamperia - Alice Kit
Doodlebug Designs Cardstock Stickers - Ladybug
Layering Stencil THS 077
Distress Oxide Inks
Nuvo Crystal Drops - Berry Blue
Paper blossoms
