We are talking embellishments at
where Wilma is hosting and the theme is
Pearls or Gems.
I appear to have LOTS of pearls in my crafty stash so I went for pearls.
They add such a lovely touch of femininity to cards and projects. In this case they were the perfect finishing touch on a retirement card that I made for a very girly colleague. Eve LOVES pink and I have always made her Birthday and Christmas cards brimming over with pink. I am sad that this time it's a retirement card but kept the feminine theme going by using a Crafters Companion papercraft kit.
the largest topper did actually say Happy Birthday so I covered it with a tag and heat embossed Happy Retirement with silver. Finally the pink pearls were added.
Thank you for visiting me today. I am sorry that I've not been keeping up with return visits but life has been a little hectic since Christmas with one thing and another. Hopefully things will ease up a bit.
See you soon xx

That was a great idea to cover the sentiment with the tag Sarah, I couldn't have guessed just thought it was part of the design! I like pearls too, I buy neutral and Copic colour them! :)
A beautiful feminine card, Sarah.

Happy New Year Sarah! Gorgeous card and I'm with you on the pearls. I definitely prefer working with pearls. Hoping to get a few more visits in this year! I missed stopping by late last year. So much going on. Sending hugs and hopes for a wonderful crafty year xoxo
This is so pretty and a great retirement card.
Very pretty and girly. Good idea to make a tag. Elaine
I love the mix of papers on this girly card, Sarah. So clever of you to hide the birthday sentiment with the tag.
Hope you are well,
