I'm back again with another card for the Little Tangles Birthday Bash challenge, Let's Celebrate.
I've used the colour scheme from this week's ColourQ challenge:
And I've taken inspiration from this week's Muse card by Laurie Willison:
After I'd stuck the roses onto the card I decided they needed pearls in the centres. The pearls were a magazine freebie and they came attached to the acetate in a spiral. Took the photo and was about to write the post when I moved things around on my work area (read dining table) and the rest of the pearl spiral ended up on the card, and I decided that it looked better with than without. So I painstakingly added each pearl to the card in a spiral fashion. Maybe sometimes less isn't enough - what do you think?
