DCD - Pink, Red & Hearts

Sadly, this challenge is the last one for Die Cut Dreams.  Susie has decided to spend more time with her family and crafting and less time die cutting!  This is sad as I've been with Susie for a long time on DCD then DCD Christmas Club, then back at DCD...... lol.

Our theme for this one is 'Pink, Red & Hearts' and our sponsor is Crimson Cloud.  The prize is a choice of 3 packs of die cuts.

Here's my DT card.

I used a Lili of the Valley image for this one and coloured it with Distress Inks.  The BP is from a DCWV stack which I've had for years, the doily was cut on my digi cutter, the flower I made using the Retro Flower punch and the foliage are a mixture of Marianne dies, which I bought just a couple of weeks ago, I love them!

I'd also like to enter this card into the present challenge on Marianne's Design Diva's whose theme is to use something new or something with a 'New' theme.  The new on my card are the leaf and foliage dies.
