After realizing that I didn't have any white embossing powder, I went to plan B. The images were inked using Adirondack cloudy blue pigment and embossed in clear powder and then sponged with Adirondack Snow Cap pigment. The gorgeous Je t'aime ribbon has been horded for a while and is from Artful Illusions. I added some vintage lace and a hand carved mother of pearl ribbon slide that were both picked up while antique shopping this week. I finished my card with some blue silk ribbon, a pearl head pin and flat pearls along the top.

AGH! Ouch! My jaw just dropped! Oh my goodness! This is so pretty and soft. I love it! The pearls and ribbon are gorgous. I believe you have out-done yourself with this one! TFS
