Hope you all had a good weekend and thank you to all my friends who popped by to say hello at the Crafts and Me stand at Stamperama yesterday, it was good to see you all.
It's the start of a new theme at Live and Love Crafts and the theme this week is another favourite of mine, "Pearls". My mojo went walkabouts this week so this card has taken me almost a week to complete, I kept going back to it and not liking what I had done and I eventually ended up with more or less my original layout, grrrr. I have used PionDesigns Cornflower 6 x 6 and I didn't want to cover up the cornflowers at the bottom left and also wanted to keep the frame so I haven't layered up as much as I would normally but I think I like the result. I created the base of the card using MayaDesign Vintage Summer 1935.
I have painted Tilda with Distress Inks and edged all the layers with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I have used the new White Flower Sprays again with the Magnolia Berries and Kort and Godt Rolled Flowers and Chrysanthemums and added some gorgeous Pearl String, love these.
I also introduced some Frantage Shabby Blue Embossing powder to the Butterfly and here's a close up so you can really see how fabulous this embossing powder is. It has a hint of blue, white and gold and looks gorgeous in real life. Sandy should be listing a few colours imminently, so keep checking the store. A word of warning though if you decide to emboss metal, make sure you leave it to cool down before handling as it gets very hot.
I also decorated the inside, bottom left of the collage below, and gave the floral ovals the Shabby Blue embossing treatment, love the effect.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:-

As I've already told you, I'm not missing any layers on this one, nor would I or anybody else for that matter tell that your mojo went walkabout, the card is as gorgeous as always! Love this colour combo and the colouring is spectacular. The card looks very classy & elegant, and you're really making the materials speak for themselves.

Surely the last time I came for a visit wasn't this long ago!!! I always start at the bottom of my thumbnail list where I last left off but I'm afraid prolific posters keep going to the top and so I have a hard time reaching them. I shan't be able to comment on everything Tracy but I have no doubt I will enjoy them all. This one is gorgeous! I love your card shape and paper choices the cream and grey look fabulous together. Your floral bouquet is gorgeous as is your pretty embellishment on the other side. Love the framing and your colouring is magnificent. That smokey background really makes Tilda pop. This whole card is a delight!!!
