Our challenge over at Crafty Secrets this week is to use pearls on our creations. Any kind of pearls or pearly surfaces. I love half pearls so give me the green light on the things and I go kind of nuts. Once I've got so many pearls on the surface you can't see the paper any more I stop! I was discreet this time and they are so small you have to look for them. All along the white lacy edge they are in the flower centres and the flower centres on the bird. Also in the middle of my ridiculously small hand made roses.
The lacy edge is from Kitchen Classics and the bird, heart, and sentiment are from Cupcake Party.
All the white is embossed with distress inks rubbed over to make them pop a bit more.
I don't know if hand cuts qualify for the Fan Club challenge this month.

Elizabeth, this is absolutely exquisite!! Your white embossing is so delicate and your sponging is beautiful. I LOVE these Crafty Secrets stamps - hand cut does qualify, I did a bit of it - anything that makes a shape! Gorgeous use of pearls!
