Well this has been a trial and error. Karen thanks for the perfect colors and side dish of pearls. I hope you can see all the pearls (door handle, necklace, vanity shirt, table, bed post, dress form.
This has been a labor of love. Remember last year my friend was going for a burger and hit at 3:00 on Saturday afternoon by a drunk driver. We sent teapot cards to her. Well she went in July 31 for another surgery on her foot. She said, the doctor has ordered bed rest again and it ain't gonna be a bed of roses...I beg to
Differ with her and am opting to send her a bed of roses. Lol. I was going to use other colors but loved the colors Karen picked this week. Placing the pearls were an added aggravation with my hand in a brace but so worth the effort. It's all in the details right? Carla asked for fences a few weeks ago so I turned the fence upside down and made a headboard and added pearls. I cut the items out but for some reason my SNC had a senior moment and cut the wrong image in the wrong place and ruined my bed, so I had to start over. Urgh!!! I used to ride a black horse so I added the horse for old Mac Donald's farm. I know Shoe Girl will Let my bunny slippers slide as shoes cuz they are so cute and cuddly. I had to add 2 pairs cuz every gal should have a spare right Lisa? Bed Rest is just what the doctor ordered. Of course, if you know anything about me it's that I love shabby chic!!! The inside stamps says... Wishing you a bed of roses also by IO. I used the score board for the trim to separate the floral wallpaper (embossing folder by we r memory keepers) and the brick wall EBF by Tattered lace. The dress form and dress are MB the lace dress is vinyl tablecloth from Walmart. Lamp and table are joy craft.
Copic markers colors I will add when I get back home

This is a wonderful card - so full of detail. So much to look at - and I have just spotted the cute little bunny slippers as well. Just the place to rest and recover after surgery. So restful.
