Hi Everybody,There is something about this card that I wanted to show you.
This card is only a 6 1/2 inch square but I wanted it to be subtly patterned and contain a gift.
I have layered it with wide blue ribbon and tied a single bow with a large blue centre to it
And then there is the addition of ... the simple hatpinI used beads that would compliment the color scheme and then just added it to the ribbon.
But I think it turns a "pretty" card in to something special.
And of course it makes a lovely gift for your recipient.
The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts with the sparkle provided by Glitter Magic
The pearls are from Want2Scrap and they are Mother of Pearl
The background is created from the Regency Swirls folder from Crafters Companion
Once embossed I have rubbed Pearl Moon metallic gilding wax from Creative-studios over the top to enhance the pattern
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

It's beautiful Christina,your hatpins are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely card and a great choice of colours to contrast with the light blue in the card. Dianne
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card! But what I want to say is that I got home and found package in my mailbox with the British Post mark on it. Inside that package is a beautiful card from Christina! The one I won 2 Friday's ago. It is more beautiful in person than the picture on the screen shows and I think the pictures Christina puts on her blog and You Tube are beautiful! Can you tell I am excited? Thanks so much for the gift of a card. Cynthia Murray
