Pearl fest!!!..........................

this was made for a long-time friend for her birthday mid-January...........it was a milestone birthday but I didn't want to put that on the card.....................she is fully aware of how old she is without lots of cards reminding her.....lol!!

 
just two colours used but lots and lots of pearls.................................but worth it for a special friend on a special birthday.................

 

 
just to show how well the emboss folder and Striplet die match up.................not sure if this was planned!!!!
 
well for the amount of pearls I used I felt this card deserved a box.....................
 
 
another couple of pearls.......

  3. Gail, your card and box are stunning, yes next year you will need to put your thinking cap on, oh I have loved your e-mails Gillian our oldest works with a lot of elderly people and she said the grumpy old women one fits a lot of elderly folk as they are alway saying they wish they could be the young person that's inside them.
