52 Cards challenge - Week 7

This week's prompt for the 52 Cards challenge is a colour prompt.

Here's your inspiration for our colour combo:

Cool pastels and off-white greys.

For my card I tried a technique I have been wanting to try for a while, and that's sewn dimensional hearts:

Paper: PTI, October Afternoon, Crate Paper
Stamp: Hero Arts
Other: Vellum, string, sewing machine

The little dotty paper is from PTI and coordinates with their cardstock. The grey spotty paper is from October Afternoon, and the background is from Crate's recent Christmas line - a very nice off white that doesn't scream Christmas. Also I wanted to use grey ink for the greeting to keep with the colour theme. :)

Hope you have fun playing with these colours!

Love those sewn hearts - definitely one to try.
This week's prompt inspired me to make a valentine for dh and I've also caught up on the last three prompts. I'm not managing it weekly but I'm loving playing along. Thanks for the inspiration.
