Sometimes I come across a paper I just love and really don't want to cover up. When this happens, I find it a real challenge to use it without losing its beauty. For this layout I used a simple design to maximise the amount of the paper left showing and a subtle frame to ensure my photo was not lost in the background.

This layout  was created using Basic Grey Verona Black Tie paper, white cardstock, silver ink, a silver pen and Bo Bunny White Love Thoughts Phrases stickers.

Place a 5x7 photo towards the top right corner of your page (I cropped mine slightly, but cropping its up to you). Make sure you are happy with its position in relation to the background pattern of your paper.

Select a collection of word stickers from Bo Bunny White Love Thoughts Phrases stickers and position them around your photo to create a frame. I recommend playing with the positions of your stickers before sticking them down so you can get them to look just the way you want.

Position the white heart sticker in the top right corner of your page.

Cut a large heart shape to match the shape of the heart on your sticker from white cardstock. Also cut your title from white cardstock. Sponge all the pieces with a silver ink pad to give a speckled effect (and tone down the brightness of your cardstock). Outline each piece with a silver pen. When dry adhere across the bottom of your page, as shown in the layout above.
