So get those fingers inky!

On to my creation!

 

When I first started to simmer about this challenge, I saw a monochromatic and soft creation -- one that used Flourishes new Victorian Ovals die. I prayed we had a sentiment that fit that oval and wouldn't you know it -- we do! I used the set called Hearts & Flowers and that long sentiment is just perfect for this. I stamped the rose hearts all over a piece of Flourishes Classic White Card Stock and using Memento Angel Pink ink. I also cut a shape out of classic white and while the Victorian Ovals die was still on the paper, I sponged some Angel Pink ink on the center of the die. I stamped the sentiment in Tea Rose Vivid ink (which is just one shade darker than the Angel Pink for a soft look). Add a heart shaped hat pin, some pearls, lace and seam binding ribbon and... done! Easy peasy! 

Here's a close up of the sentiment panel....
