You make my heart sing :)

Happy Friday! Aren't you glad it's Friday - I sure am! And a long weekend at that - yay! Today I bring you another card using a sentiment from the Melody of Love stamp set from SNSS . I followed this week's sketch over at the Sweet Stop Challenge #38 -- make sure to stop by so you can play along!
For this card, I used the delicious new Origins paper from Basic Grey - it is as dreamy as it looks if you've browsed the stores. I paired it with some coveted Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirouette and added the flowers, buttons and pearl scrolls to follow the sketch.
I'm actually experimenting with natural -vs- artificial lighting ... it's amazing what the difference it can make in a photo! The 2nd one down is actually truer the the colors IRL ;)


Happy Weekend, everyone!
