Competing with a Mama's love has no rival right? Well neither does the BB Heart Hugs when creating a page about love.
Hello friends, Kim Watson here with my first blog post for Bella Blvd for 2019! I am so excited to be here & look forward to playing with their fabulous products! Today I am thrilled to share a page perfect for the month of love. It tells the story of the deep, unbreakable love between my BFF & her delightful daughter.
Sweet Beautiful Mama Love by Kim Watson
This design was totally inspired by the rainbow colors of the corrugated card, BB Heart Hugs. The idea was so create a ombre effect using different colors.
Using a hand drawn heart shape as a guide, I filled it with different colors & sizes, being sure to maintain the heart shape. I used Heart Hugs from many different collections, so there were times when the sentiments weren't appropriate; I just removed them. Initially I was hesitant to use so many but do you know what, I justified it as a great 'Stash Busting' technique to justify buying more hahaha!
And the effect is awesome don't you think?
A cluster of tiny felt bows to reinforce the rainbow-ombre effect, also doubles as a photo corner. Using layers of patterned papers & stickers, help balance colors.
The rest of the heart was completed using hand stitching & a scattering of white hearts for interest & texture. Notice how great the color coordinated stickers look layered over the hearts & photo?
The title is the word 'Sweet', from the BB Acrylic word range, mixed with stickers & alphas, the effect is really three dimensional and eye catching. This page turned out so well, I am beyond excited to gift it to my BFF for Valentines day.
So, thank you for joining me today! I have loved sharing with you. Be sure to go shopping for BB Heart Hugs, you can never have too many :D
