Today I have something sweet to share with you. It's a Valentines page for or about my husband. This year is a special one for me. Now in February my husband and I celebrate our 10th anniversary and in July we’ve been together for 15 years! It feels that the decade has just flown by! To stop the moment from fleeing, I wanted to document the special year and snapped a picture of our hands one day. He was sick with flu and I had paint stain on my hand… but somehow I find this picture really true and honest and love it for that! To make up for the “not so cute” photo, I chose to use the cute and lovely “Love Story” collection in my layout with it’s sweet candy pink palette. For the background layers I used Color Philosophy inks. The water soluble inks are perfect for backgrounds and I can’t wait to try the new archival type inks (link)! As you saw a bit further up, I recorded a video of my process with the page, hope you liked it! Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you all a lovely, sweet day!
