Pretty in Pink

Good morning everyone
What a horrible day here, thick fog and frosty so I know where I'll be today!!

Today's card has been commissioned so I hope the lady will like it.

I've used pretty papers from Anna Marie Designs 'Blissful Pink' pad.
I used a daisy stencil with modelling paste to form a bigger circle
around the sentiment and just popped a pink crystal gem in the centre of each daisy.
I then die cut and inked a circle and stamped the lovely sentiment by
Lili of the Valley.
The flowers have been dusted with crushed ice and I've added some 
pearls to give an added feature.


I hope you like and thanks for stopping by...

Hi everyone
Now that Christmas is well and truly behind us I thought
I would share this very pretty card with you. I chose a
pink, green and white colour combo.
I've layered up several die cut square shapes and
added this beautiful chipboard vase of flowers
and just added a pearl embellishment to the centre of each flower
to make them stand out even more.
