Lori Craig challenged us to 'bring in the brown' on HYCCT02C. I have gotten so hooked on pink for Christmas that I decided brown would work as well. I was also trying to do TLC295 which is to add shimmer. I have no idea if I really did this challenge since I didn't use perfect pearls - I had to use Pearl Ex and glue (technique explained by Faith) but I did ink up my acrylic block and used watercolors. I am hereby confused as to whether I completed the task or if I messed up. You can hardly see the shimmer in the picture but it is pretty cool IRL. It was fun but I might be cheating a bit here.
I can't get the shimmer to show in the pictures!

Oh my gosh, this is such a gorgeous card. The layers and the textures from the EF's that you've used. Having them all separated by those little layers of chocolate CS just makes them pop beautifully and it's finished off so perfectly with that pearl brad/button.
