Pearls


Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. This week Sabrina our challenge hostess for February continues to bring us fun challenges.

Sabrina tells us that ... The Finnish for February is "helmiku", which means "month of the pearl". Snow melting on twigs and refreezing as drops has a pearllike look. 

For the challenge could take it easy and just use pearls/Liquid Pearls on your card, or you could be adventurous and try out some of the pearl techniques; pull out the old Pearl Ex or Perfect Pearls.


As I had already made this card and it has pearls in the flower centres, I decided to take the easy way out. 

For this card I used the new Sizzix Friends Forever Step-Ups Card Framelits which was released this month. The card base, flowers, vines and sentiment are all dies included in this set.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:
Paper: Red; Pink; Green; Blue; Light Blue; DP - TSOL
