swirls and pearls, .bet that shocked you!?I didn't think I was a pearly girlie either?!

hey there bloggers,

yes it is still me..I try to do some different things every now and again and here she is, a swirly and pearly little number:


I made my background in yes you have guessed two halves, see it is still ME!
The left hand side was made using an old and never inked stamp from the now chocolate baroque and I inked with perfect medium and clear embossed to create a resist...I never tire of this technique.
Once dry I added perfect pearls mists in blue smoke and perfect pearl, I have never used these before and they are great!!!, When dry i added some iced spruce from the winter DI, it is so yummy!!!!I added it over the embossed images to make them 'pop'

The right side was made using iced spruce DI, applied to card using cut n dry foam, then I stamped the same stamp, using iced spruce, when dry i added some Tim snowflakes, in snow cap paint dabber.

The pearls were added to the details on the snowflakes.To complete I added flourishes ( another fabbie Tim die), white lace and finally a charm fragment I have been itching to use!!

I am entering this for the following competitions:
