Happy Tuesday, Hip Kit fans!  Missy here with you today.  This my fourth layout using the 2015 February Hip Kits!  I really love all the gold elements included in the Main Kit and Embellishment Kit.  I also wanted to use the washi tape from the Main Kit as part of my background design.  I used multiple strips of it behind my photo in place of patterned paper.  I love the mix of colors and patterns!  I added a bit of gesso and watercolors to my background for some added interest.

These MME rub-ons are just amazing!  I decided to adhere this one to some white cardstock and then cut it out.  I really wanted it to pop without getting lost in the washi tape behind it.  It also gives great dimension this way.

I think this is the perfect layout to use up these beautiful shiny gold days of the week chipboard pieces.  I stitched through them with some gold thread and then added some of the MME banner shaped die cuts below.  I also fussy cut “Love This” from that awesome MME paper.

Here’s a close up look at the washi tape, more rub=ons, stitching, watercolor and a cute wood veneer.  There are just so many fun pieces in these kits!

I hope this gives you even more ideas of how to use the kits…especially the washi tape and rub-ons!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great day!
