Pearls~Gems~Diamonds

A new challenge is starting today at Double D and the theme is 
Pearls Gems or Diamonds.
Dar has created this fun mood board to get you inspired!





I made a pretty simple card....
sometimes I like simple
and as soon as I saw the right bottom corner
one of my dies came to mind to me.
'Memory Box Blushing Bouquet'.



I die cut in white card stock, then colored the flowers in with Copics.
I added pearls to the flower centers.
This made me happy as I seem to have a lot of 'bigger' pearls
and they work good for flower centers.

I liked the design paper used as it has somewhat matching
flowers to the die,
not only in color but in shape as well....
however, I seemed to have covered most of them up...
it happens!



I wasn't sure if I was too fond of the sentiment I chose
so I let it sit overnight and in the morning
it seemed 'okay' to use it...

The ribbon was a small piece I had 
and loved how well it went with the colors I used.

Pop on over to Double D and see the beautiful creations
by my friends and fellow DT designers...you will be glad you did!!

Hi, Diane! Woohoooooooo, I have WiFi... but not for long. Today I get to visit all my teamies beautiful blogs to see their DD creations, and what a treat it is! Your flowers are so cute! Love the paper in the background and the sweet plaid bow. I'm missing my stamp room. Had a look through your other posts, too. Thank goodness for Feedly. You've been creating some fabulous things!

Beautifully created card design with the pretty flowers. I love the idea of using gems on cards as I do that quite often.

This is so pretty right down to the matching ribbon... I've a box full of gems and only occasionally use them now but I still love them...
