Pink card challenge

Hello my crafty friends, today I put together a few cards and one of them I made to enter into a challenge over to Jessica's Craft Shaque.  June 23rd is National Pink day, and one of the challenges was to do a mostly pink card, and since pink and purple are my 2 favorite colors I knew this challenge was for me.  I also wanted to make a card for a Xyron competition and so killed 2 birds with one stone.

   I used several shades of the color pink, and decided to make it a wedding card. Below are the Cartridges used and supplies.

Cartridges:  Art Philosophy and  Designers Calender cartridge

Supplies used:
Xyron Create a sticker
liquid glass
Bo Bunny Gems
Bo Bunny Garden Girl Paper stack
Close to My Heart Stamp/ Celebrations
CTMH Smoothie ink pad
