I got this design from a store bought card I received and just had to try it. I picked the image off the original card since I loved the way it was wrapped with metallic thread and tiny pearls. The blue piece is glossy. I used the wrinkle free distress method to color it, then embossed in gold. The beautiful neutral embossed piece in the background was an RAK from Susan (one4joy). Thanks Susan! Fast and easy card for my stash.
Thanks for looking.

I am so impressed with the re-purposing of your delightful image with the gold and pearls into this wonderfully crafted card in your own wonderful style! PERFECT sentiment...

How wonderful to use "recycled" images and parts from cards - I think some of my better cards come when I am working with "leftovers" from my scrap piles!
Love the tilt of your panels (which are all done amazingly well) and the touch of twine and the tiny pearls on your picture lend a whimsical look!! GORGEOUS!
