AnnaBelle Stamps - Say It With Tear Drop Pearls

Hello Blogger's ............Yes it's true, today at AnnaBelle Stamps the challenge is to Say It With Tear Drop Pearls.........Stop laughing right now! I know I got it wrong on Tuesday for the Blog Hop.... Which is still running by the way, so time to add your name for a chance of the prize. In fact you can enter a few competitions check them out at the AnnaBelle Blog, in the side bar.

Back to today, these pearls are such a great embellishment and instantly add an elegant touch to your card or dimensional project.  I've made a little gift set to show a couple of ways to use them and seeing as how I made the goof on Tuesday I've also used the two sets I should have showcased then **wink**

Daisy Delights and Daisy Delights Silhouette. Andrea is offering both sets at a special price of $19.95 during the Blog Hop week if you're looking for some versatile sets this might be for you. The  single daisies are a good size to cut by hand too.

My card features Daisy Delights and I've also used the AnnaBelle set Flourishes which gives you a stamped swirl to add your own pearls or gems, too easy with a dab of glue from a quickie glue pen.  

Flourishes is one of the sets reduced this month check them all out here.

My gift box features Daisy Delights Silhouette which when stamped gives you a lovely 3.5 inch coverage which can be used alone of added to another great set 'All Squared'.  On the box lid I've used a slightly larger tear drop pearl and a few pink gems added randomly to the spray of flowers.

So there you have it, hope you'll play along with us this week and if you need some more inspiration why not go visit with the Belles.  All the links are in the tab at the top of my page.

Design Divas OBG Blog Hop

Yeah.... you made it 'down under' I know it's a long way to Sydney but I'm pleased you came.  I'll be tucked up in bed when this hop starts so please ....keep the noise down!

I'm joining in with the Design Divas Blog Hop today.  We all belong to a private group on Facebook with some of the members from the original group that started over on SCS.  Every month the Divas show cards made with older products hence Oldies But Goodies (OBG).

Today's Blog Hop started with Cindy. If you arrived here from  Shelly's blog you're on track. When you leave me you step back across the water to the very talented Sharri's blog........I'm tired just thinking about it, but can't wait to see all the projects.

Here's my card today:

I've used a favourite Waltzingmouse set 'Victorian Frippery' for my card.  This set was released July 2010 so not that old :).  I've teamed it with Websters Pages dsp, just enough left for my card ...phew.  A strip of M S punched garden trellis in Vanilla card stock.  Organza ribbon, a hand rolled felt rose. The felt goes back to the days I used to embroider :). Finishing off with a Spellbinders die cut butterfly, dressed to the nines in gold glitter.  Oh did I say the ink is SU peach parfait.  

Thanks for taking the time to drop by, on with the Hop........
