Jan 2018 Book Lover's Challenge - keep it simple with only cardstock (no patterned paper)

Using up my pink cardstock scraps by creating an ombre-like photo mat with a little interest added from an edge punch and line of bling. I didn't think I could do this challenge - the idea of NO patterned paper put me in a coma but I realized "I can do this"! And THAT is the point of challenges - use up what you have been neglecting and get you out of your 'box'. Thanks, ACOT, for always pushing me!
