Here's my attempt at the 1,2,3 Heart to Heart Challenge. After doing half of the work on my page I realized that I was supposed to use 2 PATTERNED papers. Oh well, it was much more difficult to come up with something with 2 solid papers (and I like being challenged!). I'm happy with the results.
To make this 12x12 layout, I used Close to My Heart's solid cardstock in Desert Sand and Garden Green for my two papers. I used fine green glitter on the edges of the paper roses that were made out of the same garden green cardstock. For my 3 embelishments I used 3 of the Close to My Heart neutral accent beads (rose shaped) at the bottom right corner of the page. The stamp that I used came from the Free Spirit (Close to My Heart D1217) stamp set. I used New England Ivy (CTMH) ink to stamp the image and Cocoa in to "distress" the edges of the paper.
This is the first page that I have done of my niece and I'm very happy with the way that it came out!
