 Here is this weeks sketch. I want to thanks Lesley for the fun sketch.

These are the cards I came up with;

I used a duplicate image on the inside with out the pearls.I used Pearl White Embossing powder on the images.

Now the second card;

I added several layers of clear embossing powder to the Ornament and the sentiment. I used a stipple brush to apply the inks. I added Frost White to the purple star burst so it too is shiny. The rhinestones add another shiny element to the whole card. I thought the Ornament was a bit too large for this size of card that is why I chose the first one.

I hope you find some time to create today. It always makes me feel better!
