Now before the challenge police come and take me away, here is my defense... I know it looks like I used 4 half pearls and a ribbon. That adds up to 5 embellishments not 4 like Jeanne's challenge states. Well, here's the deal. The three little ones are pearls that Anne Ryan gave me. The big one is really just hot glue with fingernail polish on it... and we all know that glue no matter what form it is in, is just adhesive not embellishment right??? Oh well, at least I tried to give an excuse. I got the rest right though. My color combo was gold, black and brown.
This is also for Kelly's Word of the Week challenge found on her blog here: http://ginghamgirlsadventures.blogsp...owim-late.html
The word this week is:
expend: 1) to pay out; spend 2) to consume by use; use up
Since I am a hoarder, and aren't we all? I decided to EXPEND some of my hoarded paper. This medallion was on some paper that I just love. It has been sitting un-used in my paper drawer for months. I couldn't bring myself to use it until today. I cut the medallion out and added some accents of color and then added the pearls and ADHESIVE with fingernail polish.
