Pretty in Pink

A pretty pink birthday card is what I have today - made using a Debbi Moore download called Cottage Retreat.  I made it a couple of weeks ago and just found that I hadn't photographed and posted it.  The "mat" for the focal is a faux one that was printed with the focal.  But since there are several layers on top that have been added with foam tape (paper tole style) that is not immediately obvious.  I wanted the background on the card to be a pink that coordinated, but I didn't find paper in my stash, so blended two colors of distress ink - Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry.  The greeting also came with a printed mat, but I didn't care for the color, so traced the outline on a piece of pink card stock from my stash & fussy cut it - then cut off the original mat before gluing the sentiment down.

Inside:

A couple of borders using that same pink card stock from the stash formed a great backdrop for more pieces from the Debbi Moore kit.
