WT193 - Pearls
Don't you love pearls? So classic, so elegant! Today's challenge is to find Ways to Use Pearls in your project. Now you may be thinking...I don't have any pearls. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't play along with this challenge. There are SO many pearl themed products on the market when you stop to think about it! Pearl Ex, Perfect Pearls, Liquid Pearls, Pearl stickers, Pearl brads, how about using the Mother of Pearl technique?! Whatever you decide to do...have FUN!
Thanks so much to Kim for hostessing this challenge for me last week while I was recovering from surgery! I'm glad to be back today!
Please remember to put WT193 in your keywords section when uploading so that we can all find your design. Please upload and link only NEW projects for this challenge. After all...this challenge is about getting you to CREATE!

I used groovy guava CS for the flower!
