Blessings - PDCC #68

Happy Saturday - I am so happy it is the weekend! Yesterday,I spend the better half of the day with my Grandson.  I picked him up a basket full of goodies for Valentine's Day - one being a cute little book titled "Elmo Loves Hugs".  Although, he is only 13 months old, he loves to bring you a book, his blankie and his pacifier, and will sit on your lap for you to read to him.  He is a blessing! :)

This card was created based off of this week's color challenge at The Play Date Cafe.  I just love these color's - so soft and serene - I just had to play along.  I decided to do things a little differently this time.  One being......make my own flower.  I played around and played around, and finally was happy with the final product.  I also embellished a little differently as well.  I used my Copics to color my natural white twine and to color all the pearls used for my touch of pink.

 Cardstock, twine, diecut and handstamped sentiment from PTI, Coredinations Cardstock used for the embossing, burlap for the leaves, decorative centerpiece, paper doily, and misc. crocheted trim.

Off to post my card...........thanks for taking a peek and have a lovely
evening!  Cathy xx :)
