Hi Stampers
For those of you in Ontario do you remember White Rose Nurseries? I am not sure how long ago they went out of business, but I had purchased a lot of ribbon, trim, craft supplies when they were closing out. I knew that I would find a use for that tube of pearl trim that I bought years and years and years ago. Oh… and I still have lots of trim left for future projects.
Card Recipe:
- Crumb Cake (base)
- Brushed Gold Card Stock
- Very Vanilla Card Stock
- Embossing Folder (retired)
- Love & Laughter Stamp Set (congratulations)
- VersaMark
- Gold Embossing Powder
- Crystal Effects
- String of pearls
This is a very simple card. The trick / tip to get the string of pearls to stay on the card (they are not flat back)….. Draw a very thin bead of Crystal Effects along the edge of the Brushed Gold card stock. Then lay the pearls on top. You will need to hold the pearls down a bit while they dry. Once they set slightly, you can put a book on top to hold the pressure on the string of pearls.
And you know my motto….. less is more. Make it a very thin bead of Crystal Effects. You can always go back and add a bit more. Make sure the two ends are secure… if the pearls are going to come off… it will be on the edges first.
Card – Wedding
