I love hearts and pink and grey also happens to be one of my favorite colour combinations so I had great fun making this card. I honed in on the XOXO ornament and used it to create a background for my card, framing it in grey as per the frame around the mirror. With so many hearts on the tree, I decided to create a shaker by sewing some vellum on to the bottom half of my tag and filling it with pink and white hearts. The sentiment is from Stronger Love and was perfect in size and boldness to stand out against the background.

Great card. I love pink and grey too. But maybe that is giving away my age as it was so hip in the 90s. I painted the walls of our first house grey but my husband put a stop to the pink.
