My card is an A2 card.  I used GKD Master Layouts 1 to cut the layers.  The design paper if from Retired Pink Paislee Paper Pad – Life's a Party.  I love this paper I have been hoarding it for a long time.  I then stamped and embossed the sentiment from Lawn Fawn called Give A Whirl Message and die cut it with the coordinating die called give it a whirl messages: friends lawn cuts.  Before taking the die off the sentient, I ink blended the center with pink ink.  I finished off the card by adding some pink hearts to my card.
