MTTC early October 2019 fortnight theme of inside out

My design team project for My Time To Craft blog involves bold pink, white, black, and kraft brown colors. It is a birthday card for either a niece or a special friend this month. The first 2 weeks of October's theme "inside out" is that we want to see the inside panels' of everyone's cards!

Make the inside as pretty as the outside:

TCCC blog post no 228 with theme prompts of pink and or tag

Check out The Crafter's Café Challenge blog #228 reveal for 1 October 2019!!! Use pink and/or tag(s) are the theme prompts for #228.

The prize sponsor is My Besties and they offered a nurse digi image as one of the choice options for the DT crew. I leaped quickly on requesting the nurse image since my mom is a retired RN and October is her birthday month! WIN-WIN!!  However blue is her favorite color so that's why I've chosen to not go 100% pink. I've got a pink, raspberry, blue and turquoise blue for the tags and I've tried to use those for coloring the digital image, too. Here's my mom's birthday card:
