My Card
Click on image to enlarge picture
I matted the side panels with dark pink pearlescent paper from my stash and then with paper from the Papermania Capsule Collection "Parkstone Pink". The topper is a Sylvia Zet image from the Hobby House and I used SB Standard Circles in the same pearlescent paper as before, then from First Edition "Summer Breeze" I diecut another mat with SB Lacey Circles and mounted it onto the central diamond shape. I stamped little flowers all over the rest of the card with Dew Drop Brilliance Pearlescent Crimson. Apart from pearly flowers in the corners I left the side panels free from embellishments because it is quite a busy paper, and in the end I decided less is more.
That's all from me. Enjoy your day.
Love and hugs from Christine xx

Lovely card Christine, very pretty, well done for making the actual card yourself, I wouldn't know where to start with it, I can do an easel card, lol.

Beautiful Christine a really pretty card. I agree with you. You can put too much on a card very easily and it just looks a mess. Too many embellishments detract from the message I think. Well done!
