Allsorts challenge week 491 - Pearls and Gems

Hi, everyone I am here with my card for this weeks challenge at Allsorts which has been chosen by our lovely Wendy and she has chosen the theme of ...
Pearls and Gems
Wendy is also donating the prize for this weeks challenge, which is a combinations of ribbons, stick pins and various other hand made items. You can check out the photos of them on Allsorts challenge blog.



My image is from a John Lockwood stamp set called 'Daisy Corner' by Creative Expressions
The sentiment is also from the same set.
I have used a mixture of gems and pearls on the embossing folder and the top corner of the image.
Coloured with Pro-markers.
5 x 5 card stock.

Thank you so much for popping by and any comments you are kind enough to leave.

Beautiful stamp and colouring echoing the dots on the stamp with the pearls in the opposite corner was a brilliant idea, stunning card

I love how you’ve echoed the pattern around the flowers with the gems. You’ve got a great depth of colour on this lovey stamp and it all works really well with the embossing in the background. It’s definitely much colder today in our little corner of the world Kath! Stay warm and have a lovely weekend x

Love the white embossed background with the little jewels tucked at the flower centers. The jeweled corner is another terrific sparkling idea too. I love how that repeats the design of the stamped flowers. Just a fab card with lots of pretty color and shimmer! TFS & Hugs
