Pearl

 

 

 

Hello

 

Welvome to my little crafting place!

 

It's my turn to set the challenge for the Daring Cardmakers this week:

Pearl

A couple of weeks ago Hubby and I celebrated our 30th (Pearl) Anniversary - wow, where did that time go?

So this week I'd like you to use the word 'PEARL' for your inspiration.
I had a think and came up with a few ideas; using flat-backed pearls, pearl strings, pearl buttons, creating backgrounds with pearlescent paints, mousse or card, Mosaics with pieces of abalone (Mother of Pearl) shell,

First I die cut a square of pearlised card for the centrepiece of this card, then  a heart from the same card.  I glued flat-backed pearls around the edge of the heart, then when it was dry, adhered in place. 

 The sentiment was cut using a couple of different dies sets from the same card and added to the card.  

To finish I ried a bow from narrow matching ribbon and glued in under the heart.

 

This isn't the card I made for Hubby, but I had this idea later and to be honest I prefer it!

Thank you so much for coming by

 Happy Crafting, Take care of yourself,
