Families Are Tied Together With Heartstrings Layout

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a close up one of the flourishes. These are from the frosted flourishes embellishments from Quick Quotes.

Here is another shot. I painted them with white acrylic paint and then inked the edges with some Powder Puff Purple Passion chalk ink and then covered the flourish with some Rock Candy Distress Stickles.

Here is a shot of another flourish.

Here is a shot of the quote. It is from the Itty Bitty Box of Babies, Kids & Family, The tag is from parts of the July Club Q kit.

Here is a close up of the flowers that I created. If you are interested in “how” I created these you can, CLICK HERE for a quick tutorial.
