I kept the purple and the layout in terms of threes. Used a Fancy Tag in place of the ribbon. The pears are embossed in gold and were inspired by the image here: http://www.amyatlas.com/index.php/main/portfolio/ . I'll probably go back and add chunky granules and some pearls for interest. I'm just a little too tired to embellish tonight!
Thanks for the inspiration Deborah and Stef. And thanks to all who take a moment to stop on by! Have a wonderful day everyone!

Hey M! Good to see you in the gallery. Very nice job with your shimmer and sparkle. I don't know that I've ever seen a shimmery purple like that- it's awesome. Have a great weekend.

Good Morning, sweet M of Megalicous cards! I've taken a very close look at this uncommonly elegant creation and I find I'm totally fascinated with those pears. What did you emboss them on? Are they cut out? The details, ma'am, just the details please. This is a really spectacular gold with phenomenal embossing! C'mon over and let me give you your richly deserved gold star for both challenges!

Wow, M, I have to tell you how drop dead gorgeous this card is!! On the lighter side, it reminded me of the movie, Princess Diaries, and Julie Andrews was the Queen of Genovia , a country famous for its PEARS!! LOL - So, now we know, that Queen Debzi is on a par with the likes of Julies Andrews, can you believe it?? This card is in my FAVS for sure!! TFS

I don't think I will EVER understand how one can create such a beautiful card when they are tired. When I try I get the biggest gob of yuk. And another thing Sweetheart, I don't think this needs any thing else!!! It is perfect just like it is!!! Beautiful.
