Diamonds & Pearls

Hello my crafty friends, and welcome to my new followers.  Its been a wonderful day here to-day, lots of sunshine and very warm too. However, I did take time out to make a card. Mainly because I was too impatient to wait for new stamps to arrive, I'm sure you know that feeling too. Anyway, I decided to enter the June Challenge over at Crafty Individuals and the theme is " A Summer's Ball ".   Firstly I stamped some music and distressed it a bit , added some beautiful lace from my sewing stash and then used a negative frame from a Spellbinders Die, so that was my base card sorted out. After stamping a gown by Joanna Sheen ( a very old one too ) the stamp I mean not the gown LOL. I then glittered it and added some tiny diamantés.  I used  the CI stamps from Crafty Elements C1-335 set and gave the bag a bit of bling, I also used glossy accents on the perfume bottle. The sentiment is an old one I've had for a while along with the print. Finished of  my card with a little bouquet and some  pearls.  I really enjoyed using all the elements on this one, hope you like it too.
You know I appreciate all your comments.   Enjoy your Week-End.  Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Rita, this card is wonderful, I love the way you have used the negative to frame the card and that gown is stunning, so is the perfume bottle (love them) but my favourite bit is the feathers - I adore them! Crafty hugs, Anne x
