Here Comes the Bride with Pearls & Lace!

Good evening friends! :)
I know that you are not used to seeing me post in the evenings, but since this is the time that a new Elphine House Australia Challenge comes up, then this is when you'll be seeing my posts for that every other Tuesday evening!

So I'd like to invite you to come join along the fun with me and my fellow new teamies (as my first "official" posting as an EHA design team member) and participate in our latest challenge!
You will have TWO whole weeks to pull out your favorite Elisabeth Bell image and create something with a PEARLS & LACE theme to enter it!  So come on along and play....
Oh isn't she just gorgeous?!  This stunning stamp is called Kathy Bride and Little Kitty from none other than The Elphine House Australia store!  

As you can see, I've pulled out my yummy lace ribbon as well as my lace corner embellishment-  as well as a collection of pretty pearls for the requirements of the challenge.  Perhaps you've also noticed that the stamp design itself has some pearls within the flowers.  I've used my liquid pearls for that.
I've also glittered up her dress and embossed the white panel underneath the main focal.
I really had so much fun coloring this gorgeous image!  Hope you like it as well.

Here are a few other challenges I'd like to enter this for:
Our Creative Corner - Making Melody - "Here Comes the Bride" (Bridal Chorus) - by Wagner
Click HERE to listen to traditional wedding music if you'd like

Come pick out your Elisabeth Bell stamps and play along with us at the Elphine House Australia Challenge Blog!!  Who doesn't love pearls and lace, right?!  And don't forget to stop by to check out what gorgeous inspiration my fellow teamies have come up with for you too! :)

Thanks so much for joining me this evening and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
I'll see you again soon! Have a great evening!
