Time for another Quixotic Challenge!  This time that super crafty Kim Dellow has given us a lovely theme:

*** PRETTY IN PEARLS ***

Use pearls on your card/project in some way.  Flatback pearls, Pearl Paint, Pearl Pens, Pearl Beads, Prima Pearl Flourishes etc. 

Lots of scope with that one!  Go over the top with pearl paints and embellishments, or keep it low-key with some simple pearl accents.  Just make sure you follow the rules posted in the challenge blog sidebar!

I love using pearls and pearl effects, so this was a fun challenge to do!

The image on my card is Elisabeth Bell for SCACD Stamps – At The Horseshow (available in the US from Susana’s Custom Art and Card Design).  I love this image, so sweet and so much fun to colour.  Perfect for any little girl (or big girl!).  I have a bit of an Elisabeth Bell addiction at the moment, as you may have noticed.

Viva Decor Pearl Pen and Bow-Easy Template - available at www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk

Papers are Basic Grey Cappella 6×6 Pad.  I love the soft tones in this pad, perfect for so many different projects.  The pearls were created using my new obsession, one of the Viva Decor Pearl Pens!  I used a Viva Pearl Pen in Cream for this one, following one of the designs from the Bazzill Basics Jewel Template – Fantasy Flourish.  Perfect – a simple, non-fiddly  way to create gorgeous pearl swirls and designs (and in comparison to other options – inexpensive).  I didn’t stop there – my new Gold Viva Glitter Liner was begging to be used, so the edges of the layers got the Viva Glitter Liner treatment!  Gorgeous and sparkly!  The beautiful bow was created using the Bow-Easy Template – still very much a favourite tool here!

I’ll be back tomorrow with my SCACD T.I.O.T card!  In the meantime, why not pop over to the Quixotic Challenge blog and check out what the rest of the DT have been up to?
