I wanted to do something outside the box, and I think I achieved it w/ this particular project!
I had such fun creating this Valentine themed project and turning this Christmas paper on it's side! When I was flipping through the Twelve Days stack (by Graphic 45; 8" x 8"), the couple dancing caught my eye, and that's where the idea started!
I realize that I'm stretching the "heart" theme w/ the two pears or hearts together, but oh well! It's art! What else can I say?! ;D
All I did was take pretty much one of each sheet and with my exacto knife, I cut out different elements.
The background paper was cut to size, and then I painted Matte Medium on top to give a smooth layer in which to adhere more layers.
The letters are a stencil that I have had forever. I added a layer to further make the letters jump out and not fade into the backgrounds.
Have a wonderful day and I hope that I have inspired you to look at your Christmas or any other paper you have, in a new and different light! The possibilities are endless!!!!

oh great idea and I love your project. Love that you used unused wood mounts from rubber stamps. I have a gazillion of those. And since I have old holiday papers, I definitely have to look at using them in a different way. This is really gorgeous and just an all around great idea. Love it.
great idea and project. I can see this on my shelf..... :)
