I wanted to contrast the gray (yucky weather) with the red (cute boots), so I tried to stick with those two colors. I used a leftover valentine doily (cut apart into a frame and two inner circles) and some pink paislee letters that seemed made for this layout. I wanted to do something subtle with black tulle, so I die cut it with my sizzix, spray glued it to the page, and hand stitched with rainbow thread around part of the edges. I also added some ribbon trim from pink paislee to add some more gray and some texture.
I also used some patterned paper from October Afternoon and background paper from Echo Park. To finish off, I added some miscellaneous brads and a large acrylic snowflake. Kaiser Craft pearls, and letter stamps from Stamps of Life.
