You Make My Heart Happy

 I haven't been able to participate in a lot of challenges recently, but when I saw Double Trouble's Trail Mix challenge paired with the Color Dare I knew I could participate!

I used 2x2 squares of patterned papers from Isabella, Wander and the current Mix-In to create this fun patchwork heart background. I matted it on a polka dot piece of paper from the Mix In, and then framed it with Sundance Cardstock. 

Each paper was a different fun pattern, but I kept the colour palette quite simple in order for all the patterns to work together and chose papers with Sapphire, Sundance and Paprika tones. I also used a retired Doodled Borders stamp to stamp around the heart using Black Ink to create a more cohesive heart frame. 

So that the heart still showed on the layout, I only used one 4x4 photo and matted it on Kraft Paper. The only embellishment I used were hearts that were leftover from using the Hearts Background Thin Cuts and Black Cardstock.  

Finally, I kept the theme going with this title- the large sticker is from the Perfect Match sticker sheet and the rest of the sentiment was stamped in Black Ink from the Every Bit Of Wonderful stamp set.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my mix and match paper heart layout- it looks tricky but it is really fun to do! Thanks for stopping by today and I'd love to know what you think.
