In the Pink

Hello! Hostess Tami here with another card for Mom to show you...

This card features a stamped and embossed focal piece that has been tinted with Smooch Accent Inks...

I wanted the portrait piece to really stand out, so the frame was stamped using ColorBox Chalk Ink. It's soft matte look doesn't compete with the shine and shimmer of the focal image...

The beautiful stamps are from Stampendous and the pretty embellishments and tone on tone print cardstocks are from Bo Bunny...
