I love playing and hopefully will not have to miss a week as I have to have Laser Surgery on both eyes soon - makes it a bit blurry sometimes! LOL!
I have embossed the DP with the Paisley embossing folder and layered it onto red card stock. The centre imagehas been stamped and then chalked with the use of blender pens. I have Embellished with red pearls and diamantes, silver brads and red beads, and a ribbon bow.
The corners are shaded and embellished with silver button with red pearl centre, and small stars. Large corner embellishent is silver button with ornamental stone.Finished off with ribbon and Pinecone shading.
Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments, I love coming to see if you have been!!
