HEARTSTRINGS - TIOT #57

Good Morning!! You are looking at another cute image from the Elisabeth Bell for SCACD-Edition #3. This is Heartstrings.

We were challenged this week to use pink, sage/moss green, and cream/white. I had alot of fun making this card. I got really really messy with the distressing. The image is colored with Copics and highlighted with Spica pens. I sponged the background and got really messy again. I found the large fabric rose, lace doily and bow in my stash. The pin has a couple of pearls and a small pink crystal. The smaller roses are Prima. I punched the leaves with my MS punch and I used my new MS eyelet lace punch for the border on the background. This is not my usual style, but I think it came out okay. You can't really see the glitter in the DP, but it is really pretty. If you click on the picture I think you will be able to see it. The DP is K & Company.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Distressing
Practical Scrappers - Use chalks or Inks
The Pink Elephant - Add green to your color combo
Spoon Full of Sugar - Use beads (beads on pin)
Simon Says - Vintage with Flowers
Cute Card Thursday - Ribbon (bow)
Stamp Something - Use Designer Paper, Button, Ribbon (button on bow)
Secret Crafter Challenge - Stitching
Creative Inspirations - Lace, pins, pearls (Lace doily, pin with pearls and crystal, pearls on the inside)

I used my new MS punch for the inside as well and added some flatback pearls. The background of this card is Ivory not white.
