Pearled Congratulations!

Photo Details

Poster: TexasGrammy

I cannot tell you how many times I attempted to sit-to-the-finish for this card, as you just wouldn't believe me. Unexpected "stuff" from neighborhood notifications, to extended lunch with DH, plus phone call visits, then cooking & dinner with DH ... you get the picture I'm sure. Well I was determined to play in Mary's gallery (jandjccc) for her Featured Stamper week! I've been itching to use this embossing folder and this card provided a beautiful start. Mine is white with eggplant, and I've added pearls. The sentiment is heat embossed eggplant.

Here's to a sweet week, everybody!

This is a beautiful card! I loved the way that you used the pearls to accent the diamond grid. The butterfly is the perfect
accent that pulls everything together. You created a gorgeous
eye candy!

Lol! Oh Sister, what a day, eh? Even without all the distractions, still it would take me days to place those delish pearls so perfectly. I love how you have used this EF! Brilliant! Beautiful, classic work. Love it! Hugs....

This is gorgeous, Bev! Did you set every one of those little pearls? I know that took time but was well worth the task.

A special thanks for all those half pearls. That had to take quite awhile. And your card is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!! THIS ONE NEEDS A FRAME, for sure.
Thank you so much for this classic beauty to inspire us.
And thank you for playing. Hugs, Mary
