I made this card for the Clear Dollar Stamps Guest Designer Challenge. The theme is "pearls". I used the bunny from Spring Critters and the flowers from Thankful for you.
I thought Miss Bunny would like to wear some pink pearls, so she has a pink pearl necklace and earrings made from some 3-d paint. The images are stamped on Shimmering White paper, so the background has a pearly look to it. The images were stamped with Brilliance Black and then embossed. I used SU markers to color, but went over the bunny with some Lumiere for a more pearly look. Then I mixed Lumiere and Pearl-ex red/blue duo to give the flowers a pearl finish. I added little pearls in the centers of the flowers. I also used pearls as an accent on the corners. The pink embellishments are metal dots. Not pearls, but I thought they were pretty! LOL!
The words are stamped with Brilliance pink and then embossed.
I did some machine sewing on some of the pieces.
I used pop dots on the main image, the bunny, and the words.
The background paper is from Paper Studio's "So Sweet" mat stack. What a fun challenge!
Thanks for looking!

Hi Lori! What a great card for submission, girl! Love the happy colors on this, and all that sparkle, too! And that Luminere (did I spell that right) is really shimmery! Love the pearls and the bling and lovely stitching on this!
