Although I started out with visions of soft, romantic pastels and florals, somehow I ended up in the 'something else altogether' camp!
My Lovely Inside and Out stamp set, which bundles with the Lovely Words dies, has been sadly under utilised. I have someone in the family going through some tough times who lives a long way away, so I was thinking of sending a card to her. This set fits the bill perfectly for that.
I had out on my desk several shades of pink, trying to make one of them speak to me, when I had an 'aha' moment. Why not use them all?!
I used the stitched circle framelit to cut out the 'Hugs' so I could back it with a plain circle. The Flirty Flamingo enamel shapes have sadly retired now.

My commenting on the gallery got away with me last week so I'm late to the comment party I'm afraid - please forgive me! I just love those pinks and the circular theme - this really is a hug in an envelope! The little enamel hearts add a nice touch of decoration too.
