Fun In The Sun

hello again. today, i would like to share a layout i made for studio calico challenge - use your scraps! 

i first created a background with repeated frames using the stamp from studio calico "roundabout pl kit" and had lots of fun decorating the frames. i gathered some left over pl card, embellishments from mainly the sc "planetarium pl kit" and bits and pieces from my stash to fill up each of the frames. i also added some watercolours, hand stitching and mist to finish off the layout.

here are some detailed pictures:

i used the amy tangerine tag from sc "marks and co pl kit" as a stencil to pierce the design for the heart on my layout and hand stitched it. I also hand stitched the rays of a sun to complement my title 'fun in the sun'.

i tried the pebbles alphabet stamp (included in sc "double scoop pl kit") for the first time and love how it looks. I think i need more practice though.
