In the Pink.....

I'm a little out of my comfort zone with all the Pink in today's card, but I'm rather pleased with how it's turned out.
I was nearly in tears cutting into the fabulous Tim Holtz Idea-ology 'Vintage Shabby' papers.  I've had this paper pad for over a year now and this is the first sheet I've used out of it !!!
The pink die cut heart is from a piece of velour/moleskin paper (if you can call it paper) that I bought from my local craft shop last week.  I really didn't think I would be cutting into it so soon, but it just went so well with the rest of the card.....looks like I will be going back to purchase another piece to keep stroking !!!

I am entering this card into:

Gems and Ribbon are from my stash

Thanks for looking
