I made this with my youngest daughter in mind, who will be thirty this year. This is one of her favourite colours I hope she likes it!!
The backing papers are all left over bits and pieces from 12x12 scrapbooking pads, I have used an edge punch for the pale pink background piece and a gorgeous die for the hearts from Marianne Designs, which I cut out of white card and then used Tim Holtz Distress Inks over the top of the embossing to bring out the details.
Some of the background pieces I have sewn around the edges for extra detail and because I know my daughter loves sewing on her cards.
The ribbon has come from our local market.
This is to give you a close up of one of my favourite images designed by Lexi Lee and available from her store Fairy Dust Crafts, it is called Christmas Shopping Phoebe.
I have used chalks to colour and shade the image.
The sentiment is my own but set into one of Lexi's tickets, I have coloured and stickled the edges of the ticket. The flowers are from Hobby Craft I really love the colour of these flowers just right for my colour scheme, the leaves are a punch I then shaped them using a ball tool, the heart pins are from Hobby Craft.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my card and for all your wonderful comments
Love and hugs
