{Be Mine Valentine} Using the "Valentine" Cardstock Cut

Hi friends! Lacey here and it's the end of February already but I am still loving all the pink and hearts!!! I created another page using the "Valentine" Cardstock Cut from the shop! I love using cut files on my layouts as they make a statement and are fun to try different techniques with. 

I left this Cardstock Cut white but decided to back it in a unique way using washi tape strips for a bold punch of color and pattern. I began the process by using a scrap of smooth white cardstock and layering the washi tape strips to cover it top to bottom. 

Next, I used the paper to back the cut file with and used an exacto knife to cut the centers out. I didn't have matching paper for this set of washi tape so I improvised and used some other elements from my stash like vellum & cardstock hearts and I found the cutest little valentine conversation heart patches and sprinkled them in. 

Lastly I layered it all up on one of the Gingham papers from the "Pastel Gingham" Collection Kit available in the shop. It's bright and playful and screams valentine!
