Frosted Color Dare

This week at Color My Heart, we are challenging you to use the Frosted paper pack. I love making level 2 layouts because the My Stickease artwork is always so beautiful and complements the paper so perfectly! Plus it's super easy! I made 2 layouts using the Make It From Your Heart volumes. The first layout is volume 1, layout 5:

The second layout is volume 2, layout 1:
