I wanted to do another for today's Ways to Use It challenge---pearls.
For this card, I spritzed the seashells (souvenirs from our vacation in Wilmington, NC) with gold pearl ex mixed with hair spray---beautiful effect. I know you can't see the pearly shimmer IRL, but it is gorgeoous. And then of course I used pearl embellishments.
I used a chipboard piece with four circle windows as my template---just exchanged the circles for squares.
The window layer is popped up with dimensionals, and the seashells are popped up with large pop dots.
I got the inspiration for this card from my AllPosters.com catty.
TFL!
