PINspirational Challenge - Photo Inspiration (Heart)
http://pinspirationalchallenges.blogspot.co.nz/2013/07/pinspirational-challenge-66.html

I have used pink cardstock for the base plus some green lightly patterned paper which I've had for a long time. The images are all from Digi Stamps 4 Joy and have been coloured using copic markers RV02, G17, G14 and Y06. The wooden heart shaped buttons are some I've had for a while. The other buttons and the spiral have been cut from pink scrap paper using Memory Box dies.

My daughter plays the flute and has exams and competitions so it is good to have some Congratulations cards on hand for her:

The sentiment is from Sans Designs. I tied a bow with my Bow Easy and some narrow satin ribbon and then added a button that came from my Mum's button box.
