Having some fun with Fancy Pants

Good morning! It's time for a new sketch reveal at Stick It Down! And today I'm sharing my inspiration page based off this week's sketch.

I used papers from the Love Note collection by Fancy Pants for this page. I distressed the edges of my background, giving it a couple random punches with a heart border punch. Then I gave the edges a quick once over with some Vintage Rose ink by Prima. To add interest & a bit more texture I splattered the background with some white, pink, and black acrylic paints. For my heart die cuts I simply inked and layered them then stapled them to the background. I cut out a few of the love labels from the paper and affixed them to the page with pop dots. I was hoping for a fun, clean and simple approach for my take on the sketch. And I have to say I really enjoyed putting this page together.

I matted the photo on cardboard  for a bit more dimension and to help keep the photo flat. The envelope tucked under the photo is also from Fancy Pants. The tiny roses, buttons, and sequins are all from my stash. The little candy heart I found in one of my button boxes. Isn't it cute? It's actually foam and I have no idea where it originally came from. And since I used all pattern paper to create this page I'm entering it into challenge #138 at Use Your Stuff - to use pattern paper on your project.

And here's this week's sketch
