This the second one for yesterday's IC challenge and also for Thursday's WT challenge to use silver. For the IC, I chose Retro Swiss Dots, it's the 3rd one down in the 2nd row on page 1.
All images are FireCracker Designs and I'm working on a tutorial on how to do this bg. The tutorial will be up on the FireCracker site, hopefully in the next week.
The images were stamped w/ silver ink and embossed w/ silver ep then cut out w/ Nestie square and long rectangle. I stamped an extra central image and colored it in w/ a pink marker then cut out the center and the hearts. These are attached on top of the plain one w/ micro foam dots. I sponged a little pink ink around the edges then layered them on the pink dot dp and then on silver. They are attached to my tissue paper bg, then to white, the dp and finally a white card.
I strung a few pink beads on the silver cord and tied it around the center image and down behind the sentiment. TFL

Julie, this is so striking! Beautiful pinks and silver together. If this was anywhere near to what I could recreate, I would so be right over there waiting for the tutorial. Unfortunately, I'll have to leave these gorgeous cards to you. I could never case this!
