Background #3 - Love

I made a craft list of techniques I would like to try in 2019.  The first one is handmade backgrounds;  this is the third one.  It combines text and images just like the challenge recently.  Since its close to Valentines Day the card is made with that theme in mind (the hearts and text). 

To make the size circle I just reversed the stamp I was using for the heart with text to make a circle (on the back of the stamp) and then turned it over to the correct side to stamp the heart with text on top of circles).

If you haven't used the Guide Lines Paper from Papertrey, it really helps line up images if the are small enough for the lightly pre-printed lines and circles.  I love it this paper.  Its also a wonderful look to put a very small image or flower in between the circles but I thought that would be too busy with the text.  However, I have made such a background and love it but haven't decided how to showcase it and make the final card.  Coming soon . . .
