Pretty Pearl



Good Morning All
I made this card a little while ago for a commission, someone referred to me by Linda from Animal Aid.  She wanted a 'Pearl Anniversary' card but very pretty.  I always think that when we buy or make an anniversary card we aim for the lady more than the man, therefore, pretty and feminine.


I used pearlised card in a slightly off white shade.  Marianne LR0236 die for the gorgeous trellis shape and an embellishment from stash (years old, bought in USA).
Marianne  flowers LR0106 and Spellbinders Bitty Blossom and I put pearls in the centres.
I printed a sentiment on the computer and added ribbon and butterfly.

I made a box/ envelope using my Crafters Companion board and decorated it with a homemade crochet heart with a pearl centre.

I got these last night
                                           



 I just LOVE this one.  The look on her face-'If you DARE to pinch my chocolate'
I know it wasn't the choccy I took her as I bought white chocolate!!!!!!

Another change of subject -------------
  A couple of pics I took yesterday when we went for a walk at La Mata beach, people swimming on this one.
   
 And sunbathing here on the lovely beach.
     This is a beautiful beach and gets extremely busy in July and August.  We love going for a walk along here as there is a board walk all the way along.
