Pastels are always difficult for me and this week Karen really challenged me! But I made it through and even had dessert. I started to make the card all white but I like the subtle contrast of the white against the vanilla.
The inside of the card says "I love that we are friends." How perfect for Valentine's Day! I usually give my girlfriends Valentines and I will be making more of these to deliver.
Thanks for the fun challenge this week Karen. I look forward to seeing everyone's cards!

You did great with these pastels, Jeanne! This is a lovely card, and you've inspired me to give valentines to my girlfriends! It has never occurred to me to do so--what a great idea! Back to your card, I love the different colors and shapes of the hearts with foliage and such a sweet sentiment!

I love your delicately beautiful card and the ideas behind it, Jeanne! We should mix white and vanilla more often and girlfriends probably are the most fun to make and send valentines to.
