He's Trouble but he makes me so Happy!

I'm back to share this simple design I made for Boys Rule Kits.  It features a great, solid design choices from Echo Park, Fancy Pants, Adornit and FabScraps. I love that all these pieces were chosen with care and flexibility in mind.

I began by sponging white craft ink on the corners of the design and adding splotches of glimmer mist in bronze. I also added some blue stitches and a few scraps with a little round sticker in the upper corner.
There were also a few little tabs and a heart for colour and flow. The pops of red are great accents and all over this kit from Boys Rule.
Finally, I used the remaining glimmer mist and a paint brush onto the Fabscraps "Trouble|  and finished out the colour with distress ink from Tim Holtz. The rest of the title piece is from the sticker sheet included. The torn edge along the yellow mounted strip really adds texture too.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope that I have inspired you today! Until next time, keep doing what you love to do!
