This is another card made with the set Merci Bouquet from Layers of Color: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
This is such a pretty set and so easy to use!
I coloured the image with chalks and then used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist on the flowers BUT rather than spray such a small area I painted it on with a paintbrush...I am happy with the result! Distressed Stickles have been added to the vase and the leaves - they are such a great touch. Both the green and pink DP have been embossed with the Victoria Embossing Folder, sponged around the edges, lightly distressed and layered onto cream CS!
The ribbon is attached under the image panel and has a strip of lace across it. I have made a gem with the Granny's Jewelry set, coloured it with chalks and added a coat of Dimensional Magic, then attached it to some pink ribbon. Then pink pearls are the final touch!
Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments - I am so grateful for your encouragement - you bless me!! You can findme and more at my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/

Linda, so beautiful! (reminded me of your mum's cards too!) I love how you have coloured the vase, it has wonderful dimension. Lovely CB, lace and pearls. Delightful! LYMI, hugs...

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! I had to resort to giving my little man potato chips to get him off the computer to catch up with the gallery. SO worth it, though, to see this beauty, Linda! TFS!

Absolutely gorgeous. Looks like linen. A very pretty image. Love your coloring and sponged edges and the little pink pearls. Love those colors together and of course the embossing is always the perfect touch. Very very pretty! TFS. : )
