Ok here is a card that challenged me! This week at LLC pins and pearls were our inspiration. That's not the part that challenged me. I made the card for a friend and grad colors were gold, yellow and black. THAT was the challenge!! Not a super vintagey card (I'm sure that's not a word but it works for me - lol) but I've used lots of supplies from Live and Love Crafts. I started out with some older papers from Maja Design's "Crea Diem" collection. Very pretty! My pins are all in my bouquet. 3 of them are pearl pins new to LLC and my 4th pin is holding my tiny "2012" tag. A little hard to see because it has reflections on it. Oooops hee hee. Love the blackberries and all those extra flowers to which I added a touch of Gesso. I also looped a few rounds of black pearls from LLC under my Prima flower I had in my stash. AND I found a big gold tassel hidden in my stash too and who would have figured that years later it would have come in handy?! And I tell myself I should purge my crafting supplies!! What am I thinking? LOL!! The feather and ink well are Tim Holtz dies which I added some crackle paint to. The image is called "Grad Girl 2012" from Saturated Canary and colored with my Copics. One last picture!! How can I NOT show you these gorgeous laces?!! So pretty with the rhinestones on there! Before I take off I want to let you know these papers are now available at LLC: Well that's all I have to share today!! I hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by! HUGS!
