Authentic Beauty

So I made my cloud stencil and now comes the hard part of using it.  I used a piece of white cardstock and misted the clouds working from the center out and one extra one on the center top (I forgot to take a picture of the misted paper), then just a misting on top.

I didn't back my photo as I thought it could hold it own on this background and just started adding my embellishments to go with the layout.  Since the clouds were blue I die cut come blue butterflies and added a couple of blue bows to the layout. 

I pulled out an old postage stamp die and use the Valentine embossing folder that goes with it for my "Love" postage stamp.  I made the mini alphabet letters to go with this layout and printed on photo paper. 

I punched a small strip of pattern paper then layered it with a tag and bow to bring the  colors over to the side of the page.  The top has a couple of scraps from the die cut postage stamp layered with another tag and butterfly.
