PDC Challenge 78

The current challenge over at the PDC is to use red, blue and pink.  Here is the lovely inspiration photo:

Gorgeous colours right!
I went with quite a simple style today as I just love the colours on their own.  I used all PTI cardstock and patterned paper for this card.

Paper: PTI
Ink: Versamark; Versafine Onyx Black
Stamps: Hero Arts(CG311 & CL499)
Other: Corner Chomper; White Embossing powder; PTI die; Cuttlebug embossing folder

I embossed the blue mat with the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  I used a PTI Mat Stack die to cut out the die with their beautiful red and white polka dot paper.  I then stamped the Hero Arts "Small Sweet Petals" stamp with Versamark and embossed it with white embossing powder before cutting it out and adhering it to the die cut.

The sentiment is from the "Special Note of Thanks" Hero Arts set.

Thank you for looking!
