Heart-shaped blossoms

Today's birthday card is based on this week's sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. It's perfect for a clean and simple card.



I printed the sentiment (Create with TLC) on an sheet of very light purple A5 cardstock and folded it in half to create an A6 card. The heart image (Floral Heart from Crissy's Digi's for Whimsy Stamps) was printed on a sheet of darker purple and cut out with a small margin. I then highlighted the flower design with my Sakura pen and added some light pink pearls with a Viva pearl pen. I used another strip of the same CS for my background border, that I cut with my paper cutter, and attached some ribbon from my stash. The ribbon is actually a brownish colour, but takes on quite a different hue because of the purple CS. I finished the card off with a few rhinestones from my stash.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Bunny Zoe - #20 Picture inspiration
Sir Stampelot - In the garden
Tuesday Throwdown - #83 Use hearts
Allsorts - #140 Free & easy February
Paper Sundaes - #106 Clean and simple
