This is my card for today's IC. There were some fabulous pieces there, and I had my eye on some of the patchwork bedding. But when I saw this ring holder - http://www.pbteen.com/ptimgs/ab/imag...020/img20m.jpg, I knew that was the one for me today. I tidied all my embellishments over Christmas, so I knew I had a silver wire flower someone had sent me.
The base is a white card, then a layer of blue Bazzill Bling, then another layer of white with the edges sponged in silver and then embossed with a diamond EP. I tied blue organza round the blue and white layers, which helps hold the stem of the wire flower down. I added some rhinestones to the flower. Then I just tied some silver embroidery floss round the spine, threaded on some freebie crystal beads with knots in between and frayed the ends out.
So much fun, thanks Stef.
Yet another one it was hard to get a good picture of - no flash didn't show the crystals and rhinestones. Full flash washed it out. In the end I used 1/64 strength fill-in-flash and it's pretty close to what it really looks like.
