Hello Sweetie Pie

My Mother-in-law had told me she thought my cards were pretty but usually their colors were too dark for her taste so I made this bright and vibrant card to make her smile.

I layered my background with soft shades and used a very very pale green pencil to color my pears. I've also been dying to try out one of these boarder frames from a Ephemera pack I got awhile back so I think this is the perfect use for that. Before I glued down the frame I measured where I wanted my heat embossed image first, I have to get some kind of dark vintage color in here somewhere otherwise it would feel like mine.

Things I used on this card:

• Cardstock: White (brandless)
• Flowers: Prima and Hero Arts
• Bling: Unknown
• Inks: Distress Ink (Frayed Burlap, Antique Linen), Color Box Cat's Eye in blue.
• Stamps: Bird (Elements of Style SU), Pear Collage (Memory Box), Vintage Stamps (Liberty, London Post by Hero Arts), Lace detail ( Prima)
• Ephemera Boarder and Expression from K & Co.
• Embossing Powder in Bronze (Hampton Arts A La Mode-Basics)
• Colored Pencils ( Prisma)

Thanks for looking,
