The base of the card is a pale pink sheet of Bazzill cardstock. The first mat is white cardstock edged in Tattered Rose Distress Ink and cut with some deco edged scissors. The top mat is from DCWV's Luxury Stack. I LOVE LOVE these papers! The heart die cut is my chipboard piece. It's painted in Picket Fence Distress Crackle Paint.
The flowers were an experiment. I think Parchment Craft card work is absolutely gorgeous. If you've never seen this, you can find some incredible examples of it here. I don't have any of the tools needed to do this type of card making, so I had to make do with a regular sewing needle. I traced out each of the flower petal layers onto pale pink vellum and then went around the outline poking through the vellum with the needle. They would have punched out better with the correct tools, but it all worked out. I layered them and added some pearls for their centers. A few leaves punched from some Bazzill paper with my favorite Martha Stewart leaf punch, a little ribbon, lots more pearls, and a sentiment from Cloud 9 Design finish it off.
Hope you all have a blessed Sunday!
