AYLI - Pearls or Gems

 No cute card from me today, I know, it's a shocker!!

Our theme at As You Like It is to share pearls or gems.

Turns out I have rather a lot of pearls in my stash, Who knew!? So many, in fact,  that I decided to make them the star of my card. 


I used a Woodware stamp and simply stuck plain and coloured pearls (and a few enamel dots too) in the circular spaces. The leaves were coloured with Promarkers and there is actually a dotted blue background that doesn't show up very well. 


Thank you for for your visit. I hope you have a lovely Easter weekend. Not quite sure what's on the cards for us but I will be keeping an eye out for the Easter Bunny for sure!!

See you soon xx

Love the gem that has the stripes for the bee Sarah, great use of those pearls. I bought loads from Home Bargains but they are never the right size and colour! :)

So pretty Sarah, like the way you used some coloured pearls to carry the colour of the DP.

Have a good Easter, Anysia is showing Penelope in hand on Saturday so might go and take a peek depending on the weather.
