For my card I went a little crazy with the pink and the speech bubbles. I just got the Hero Arts Phrase Bubbles Dies and wanted them to be the focus of the card.
For the background I coloured white cardstock with Panpastels, inked up the Envelope Pattern with Versamark ink and stamped. It gives a nice soft background for all the sentiments.
Next I took some watercolour paper and used different shades of pink Lyra Aquacolor Crayons to create an ombre look and sprayed it with Perfect Pearls (a little shimmer is a good thing). I then die cut a few windows, laid this piece ontop of the background and stamped a variety of sentiments through the openings. I finished off by adding white die cut phrase bubbles and some vellum and acetate hearts that I coloured with alcohol inks.
