H2H - BeYOUtiful

The theme this week at Heart 2 Heart is BeYOUtiful. This topic led me to create a very special layout. 

Denise and I have been friends for a while and although we are separated by a couple of driving hours, we communicate daily via Facebook and text message. She keeps me on the the straight and narrow and makes sure I am doing what I am supposed to be doing... She is an incredibly giving woman - of her time and talents. I just love her to pieces and the title of this theme fits her perfectly. She truly is beautiful - inside and out - and I am so blessed to be able to call her my friend. 

This layout was created using primarily the Basic Fundamental papers and Bashful - ink, glitter paper and cardstock. The Bashful paper matched Denise's scarf perfectly. The background piece is actually Linen, not White Daisy. I stamped a background of stars very lightly using Bashful ink and a template cut from the Artistry Cricut cartridge. The flowers are from the Beautiful You stamp set and the hearts are from a retired thin cut set from last year. 

The next two photos show a couple of the flowers brushed with the shimmer brush.
