This was done slightly inspired by this card of miss Lee's the truth is, a whole bunch of her cards look this way in my mind. ( they are layered, they have bows but they all have BLING in the form mostly of pearls... see. so, it was a fun surprise to see all the CAS cards too. but, {shhh...Lee is the reason I own pearls} So, I had to pick a frilly one to try. So, changes are since I am working my way through a basket of dies I "had to have" and have never used I grabbed these crosses ( there are all 4 from the set used here with color dusting on the edges and pop dots between them) which made them really tall so, I thought to counter sink them into the framing to protect that a little. This card is boxed. Lee, I hope you like this and are enjoying your week! thanks for this challenge Joyce, & tfl. I will get a closer look at the center shot posted to the blog in a while.

Oh Stacy, Just W O W. Looks like a very time consuming card, but so worth the effort.

Oh wow! Your layering is spectacular. Being able to put those fancy dies together is a skill I lack, but I sure do enjoy seeing beauties like this one. Classy and elegant!

I can see why your card was mentioned in the CAS favorites. This is gorgeous. I'm not into fancy dies, but I have to say this is one gorgeous card. I love the almost monochromatic flare with all those layers. Wow. Just wow.
