KBS | Feb 14 layout (featuring layered tags)

Last week I shared some home decor tags and hearts perfect for Valentine's Day (see that post HERE) and today I'm sharing the layout that inspired those tags! 

The color combination of cream/red/agua/pink is one of my very favorites for any kind of scrapbook layout and especially for Valentine's and love-themed pages.

I wanted to keep the emphasis of my design on the photos and embellishments so I purposely chose a cream patterend paper background and die cut the tags from white cardstock and then added layeres and l ayers of die cut embellishments and buttons, ribbons, etc.that were colorful and really "popped" off the page.

Here are the kits I used and what dies came from what:

• XOXO (doily, "feb 14", hanging hearts, heart tag & clothespin)
• Life Additons: Backgrounds (petal background)
• Christmas Countdown (tag)
• This & That: Summertime (butterfly)
• This & That: Family: (instant frame, short tag)

And this tag that Kerri designed for the Silhouette Store awhile back (still my favorite!):

tag_2391 

I viewed each tag as it's own "mini scrapbook page" and worked on each individually before adhering them to my page for the collective tag background look.

To make the tags a bit more interesting I ran them through my Big Shot using Papertrey Ink Impression Plates to add the lovely texture.

Adding a die cut shadow to many of the die cut designs with dark brown cardstock helps give them dimension and draws your eye to the colorful die cut pieces.

I love these instant die cut frames added to the tags. I added glitz and glamour with baubles tie on with a pretty ribbon.
