Happy Monday morning to you friends!! Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
It's back to the "grind stone" at my house...which is fine with me as I love being in a routine...I'm a mess without one! I had a really great relaxing weekend though.
So today starts us a brand new Belles 'n Whistles Challenge!
Our lovely DT Iris wants to see those pretty Pins & Pearls on your creations!! I love to use them both, so this was such a great challenge to have fun with! :) Here's my creation:
I decided to pull out this really gorgeous Fairy Fond Thoughts stamp from Belles 'n Whistles and use her for a special card. I don't normally use these pins because they're really bulky and heavy...so I like to try and put them on special creations for special occasions like this one. I added some pearls to the pin as well as a charm and ribbon on the end of it. I've stuck it behind one of my flowers with pearls.
You'll also notice in the details of the image that I've used some liquid pearls on the flowers and her dress strap. I've also got pearls on my lace ribbon strip and on the layout as well. I really like how soft this turned out and I had fun with the layout I used too.
Here are some other challenges I'd like to enter:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch 124
Everybody Art - mushrooms
Top Tip Tuesday - Layer it up
Crafts & Me - Blue, Green & Pink
Flutterby Wednesday- open
Cute Card Thursday - Sorry
Crafts 4 Eternity - metal embellishment

So I hope you hop on over to the Belles 'n Whistles challenge blog to see all of the gorgeous inspiration from my teamies and come play with us!! We can't wait to see what you come up with!!
Thanks so much for stopping in to check out my creation!! I'll be back in a little bit with another challenge post for you!! So please stay tuned in!! :)
