This is the very first card I ever posted on my blog back in August 2012 - gosh, makes me realise I have been blogging two years now. Wow! Jenny started a day or two after and I think Patricia was just before me.
This card uses pale blue pearlescent card stock and SB Parisian motifs, (Jenny's card today used it which gave me the idea to join in) and it was the first time I had tried this technique of half cutting the die and half embossing it. I was very pleased with my first attempt. The flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts and the pearls and organza ribbon were from my stash. It was also my first attempt at a double bow - a day of firsts.
Hope you all have a great day!

Hi Christine,
lovely to see you joining in with the Oldie for Friday.
This card is very beautiful, and a technique I have never tried myself.
You have created this technique superbly, and I bet the recipient loved it.
So glad you are managing to find a little time to blog, and thank you for your comments on mine today.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Christine, thanks for joining me in sharing an oldie this Friday. I love your card especially how you've used the die to create a 3D effect. Beautiful.
Have a super weekend and happy crafting, Erika. x
