COLOR HUES # 55 ~ LIGHT PINK & GOLD

Welcome friends,
And because I am getting ready for Valentines day, this was a perfect color combo to make a valentines card!

I am sad to say that because I have hoarded this paper for so long and cut it into usable pieces (it is from a 12 x 12 paper pack that I have hoarded for quite some years) I don't know the source of this paper.  But with the gold and light pink I thought it worked perfectly for this card!
I used a Gina K scalloped stitched border die from ML 4
The gold hearts die is Impression Obsession and the paper is DCWV glitter pastels mat stack
The Greetery: Signed & Sealed (envelope  cut from PTI sweet blush)
The Greetery:  Sentiment Suite: Love

I had fun putting this together and I hope you will join the awesome and talented team from Color Hues to be inspired by all their creativity!


 Thanks for stopping by friends, I plan to spend more time here this year, so I look forward to seeing you around the different challenges!
 
Heart Hugs, friends!
