Pink and Gold

Hi everyone.  Today's card was made for the Color Hues Challenge #55 - Light Pink and Gold.  I do love pink ... :)
I smooshed the background panel with a mix of Worn Lipstick distress ink and Delicate Gold ink.  I used gold foil card stock to die-cut the sweet pot of hearts,  Plant Our Love from Penny Black.  To finish, I added a white sentiment banner at the bottom, heat embossed in gold with Smile from the Stampendous Spring Sentiment set.  The panel is popped up to add some dimension.

This was a quick and easy card to make, although it took me a while to figure out what die to use with the background. :)

Here's a close-up ...

What a spectacular background and love the gold pot of hearts with this. The background and die cut work together beautifully. It may be simple but it's the idea that is often so hard. This is a gorgeous card, Loll!
