"Beauty in Simplicity" Layout by Fiona Paltridge

Hello VLVS peeps! Fiona here with you to share a layout I have created using some of the gorgeous rubber from Viva Las Vegastamps.

"Beauty in Simplicity"

I sued a water color stamping technique to create the background along with some sponging through one of my favourite stencils at the moment.

I stamped and fussy cut out the Squiggle Heart and Dressform and then colored them in with a coordinating paint color.

Some black splats and the Butterfly Specimen stamp with black ink finished it all off.

Viva Las Vegastamps used include:

Squiggle Heart

Butterfly Specimens

Freud Handwriting background

Dressform

I hope you've liked my little piece of art. Until next time xx

Crazy in Love

Freud said it best. Love does make us crazy. We feel every emotion under the sun from elation and desire to sorrow and grief. One thing that has always puzzled me is that when I am sad I cry, and when I am happy I cry. I am married to a man who after one martini will tear up when he tells me how much he loves me. I love those tears of his. Freud said it best.

When I saw this HUGE 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" Freud Stamp I knew I had to add it to my growing collection of VLVstamps. I see lots of Freud inspired cards and projects in my future but I decided to start out small with an Artist Trading Card. I am crazy in love with this card. Hope you like it too!
