So many of our flowers were destroyed in the storm (up to 60 mph winds). All the dahlia plants are broken and the gladiolas are on the ground. I sure wasn't ready to say goodbye to all those pinks and purples. That is probably why I took on some of the pink challenges for this card.
This card gave me the opportunity to us my new Spellbinders Happy Birthday Garland Die D Lites. Thank goodness for my Silhouette Pick Me Up tool. Those little hearts are TINY!
Also used is a circle from the Dienamics Circle Stax, a Spellbinder Scalloped Circle, and a Cuttlebug embossing folder, all cut and embossed with my Cuttlebug.
Challenges:
