I'd love to make a more feminine card for the metal tape art TLC later on, based on some of the silver beads in the IC today.
But I was just slipping a quick card in before my attic heats up to much, and I chose this lovely blue bead for my inspiration. Loved the little rose one Stef had in the thumbs too, but I'd just made a pink rose card yesterday!
A2 base, Cryogen white.
I took some watercolour card, scribbled a bit on it with a silver pen and then misted it with water and washed it with 3 shades of H2Os, adding in a couple of fine lines with a darker paint at the end. It's embossed with SU's Elegant Lines and has some gems added, edges sponged with ColorBox Harbor.
Scripture Collection 11 stamped on white card and cut with Labels 8. I dotted round the edge with a silver pen and then sponged with Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire.
This is also for the current ODBD challenge ~ white/ivory and your choice of any other colour. I haven't left much white ;-), but I did take care to leave the centre of my sentiment white. I think this will be going to a friend who has just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and is in acute pain. She can't play her violin at the moment, even.

Sabrina, you captured the beauty of the blue bead SO well with your bg. The embossing, touches of bling and use of silver make it a lovely feminine card.
