Love pearls, so this challenge was fun. I started to do a lot of things w/ this card, but somehow it went its own direction. I started to combine w/ the sketch. I started to use real pearl like objects. I started to use the color combo. All that's left is the pearls. But they are liquid pearls.
Everything was gold embossed: the candles (Anita's), the ornamental holly at the bottom (PSX) and the bg (Inkadinkado). The main image was cut w/ a rectangle nestie that I resized to be about 1/2" narrower from top to bottom. (If you want to see how to do this, here's a tutorial: Nestie Resizing Tutorial.) The metallic gold was also cut using a nestie. It's layered w/ foam tape onto the next layers and then to the bg which was also edged w/ gold ep.
Some of the areas were colored in w/ glitter gel pens and the gold Liquid Pearls were added on the sides, on the bows and in the center of the bottom image. TFL
