Gina K Designs' Sung From the Heart Blog Hop

I'm excited to show you a card using Rupa's tug-in-your-strings adorable set, Sung From the Heart. Every image here is just fun to color and very retro-fab. I'm going clean and shabby on this one :-).

The card base is Innocent Pink, the back panel is Soft Sand the the lacy strip is Chocolate Kiss. I sponged the edges with Tuscan Tan ink. The DP is my I Love Hearts digipaper pack cut with a Spellbinder Labels 9. The toaster was colored with Copics.

Don't forget to check out what these fabulous ladies have made and leave them some love :-)
