Another example of bling of any form being so hard to capture on camera! I have used Kindy Glitz to add some 'bling' to this DP and also some half gems. After being to every room in the house with my previous card, I found the bathroom was the best place for this 'bling thing' so on the bathroom shelf it is - glad no-one was in the shower LOL!! I used the 'words of wisdom' from DH and...it really does work, (stand back, zoom in and use flash) - don't tell him LOL!!
I have also added a layered flower and some flourishes, plus a silver punched branch that somehow sneaked in with the corners from Pat's RAK...so I used them here (thanks Pat!) Again, I wish I could say that I whipped this card up for this particular challenge, but the truth is, I took the easy way out and revamped another UFO (unfinished object) I started ages ago and was never totally happy with it, it was too boring - so another big THANK YOU Julia for this challenge, it just added what was missing - now I am happy with it!!
What do you think - I appreciate your comments...thanks for looking!!?

Beautiful! I have used this scripture over and over (to help me grow in patience!) Your cuttlebug die is really lending a hand on this! I love that! I missed your 'traditional' corners and am glad to see them again. The bling here is lovely too. What a gift to be able to use paper to make such a lovely thing!
