• I ran the Crafters Companion Centura Pearl  -Pastels Card through the Anna Griffin Embossing Folder - Pirouette and matted it onto my base card.

• I printed an image from  Crafters Companion Crisalis Classics CD-Rom onto Photo Paper and die cut it with Spellbinders Nestabilities Majestic Elements - Exquisite Circles, I matted it onto some Create and Craft Pearlescent Card - Pink that had also been die cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities Majestic Elements - Exquisite Circles. With some Creative Expression Foundation Card - Blush I die cut the smallest circle from Spellbinders Nestabilities Grand Decorative Circles and matted my focal image onto the center, I felt these three layers worked well together.

• I took one of the sheets of paper from Creative Expressions Teresa Collins 8x8 Designer Pad (Music Paper) and trimmed it down so it sat on the right side of the card, I embossed it with Couture Creations Embossing Folder - Bon Jour and wrapped some thin Pink Ribbon around it then attached it to my card.

• With more  Creative Expression Foundation Card - Blush I die cut two of the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die-Lites - Fantastic Flourish Two and whilst still in the die I inked them with my Versamark Ink Pad then heat embossed them using Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder - Tropic Pearl Lustre to add a bit of sparkle, I then attached them on opposite corners of my card.

• Using more of the  Crafters Companion Centura Pearl Card - Pastels (Pink) I stamped my sentiment from JustRite Large Fancy Sentiments and die cut with Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die-Lites - Petite Lables One, I attached this to the card with foam pads just under the bow to look as if it was hanging from the bow itself.   

         

          There you have the finished card.

          Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx
