It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC98)! I am the challenge host this week. I have an easy one for you, too. I am challenging everyone to pearls. You can add individual, colorful, big, small, flourished, or swirled pearls to your cards/projects. We look forward to seeing what you create!
I am using Flourishes Apple of My Eye and Forest of Trees stamp sets. Both of these sets are currently out of stock at the moment, but should be in stock shortly. Flourishes is having a big 25% off Year End Sale on EVERYTHING in the store so stuff is flying! Hurry over and check it out!
For my card, I was going for a masculine themed card using pearls. Is it possible? I think I did it! Masculine Elegance is a good thing. I am using some
Webster Pages Petite Papers Combo Pack - Hollywood Vogue & WonderFALL. I love the blend of patterns and textures looks that can work beautifully for girly cards or, in this case, masculine. I added some machine sewing stitches along with a rich navy satin bow and touches of gold pearls to finish the look. My colors are navy, olive, with a touch of some daffodil delight. This trio of colors is for today's SCS Color Combo Challenge CC303. Check out the link and find out how to play along.
My card is also for a few other blog challenges!
365 Cards: Day 18 Plentiful Patterns!
ABC Challenge: K is for keep it simple (way simple than most of my cards)
Tip Top Tuesday: Embellishing(pearls, ribbon, buttons, dew drops, sewing)
Tuesday Taggers: Old Father Time (quote and tree add to theme of growing up)
Incy Wincy: Distressing! I sponged the edges!
