Just a Girl & Her Flowers Layout by Paige Evans

Here is the finished layout that we made in today's Make With Me Monday featuring stitched paper hearts! 

 I used my Garden Shoppe collection and a heart cut file/template to make the hearts and had fun hand stitching them with coordinating threads. I chose to make my hearts from the black/white floral Paper 5, multicolor floral Paper 2, dark floral Paper 11, dark floral Paper 20, green daisies Paper 8, and yellow floral Paper 21. For the background I used the ombre pink Paper 5 and splattered white acrylic paint as well as Pastel Dreams, Tropicals, and Vintage Pastels watercolors on top.
