Merry Pearls

I just think this card is so very elegant! I cannot take credit for this card either, as I found Kylie's card on Pinterest and just had create one of my own.

Here is Kylie's card:

I used the Balloon Framelit to set my pearls to make sure it was circular.  I used my tweezers to place each individual pearl... it took a lot of time and I'm sure I lost of few in the process. Haha (that's what vacuums are for - right?) But... I know I will only create one card like this -- those pearls aren't cheap! BUT... I fell in love with Kylie's. Just Beautiful!

I white embossed the sentiment on Night of Navy cardstock, then added my pearls using the balloon framelit as my template. Next was adding the ribbon - silver for the "string" and white for the bow. The center of the bow did look a bit plain, but I didn't have bells to place there.  I instead used some Frosted Finishes Embellishment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you!

Two notes to mention as I created this card.  After die-cutting the snowflake.... I noticed it blended too much into the background piece.  So, I used a marker (Smoky Slate) to trace around the edges of the snowflake to make it more defined.  I used only a portion of the sentiment (the word 'Peace') using a marker (Basic Black).

Not sure if I like how heavy this card is with the 3 snowflake embellishments though.... it'll definitely be a hand delivered card rather than a mailed one.

Thanks for taking a look!
