It's a Shower - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday!

Today I have a card for you using the Sweet Lullaby Collection.




I thought this would be pretty for a bridal shower or even for a baby shower.  I love lots of white with a touch of yellow!  I used all white card stock for this and color the flower and leaves with chalk inks.  Very simple card to put together!

Here's a little close up of the pretty umbrella!





Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful projects this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday Challenge #133 - Anything Goes.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Blessings!
