Pals Paper Arts challenges you this week to create a clean and simple card using pearls! Pearls are so classic and so chic – especially when worn by Audrey Hepburn! Join us this week and create a card that is Simply Pretty in Pearls.

Tip: No pearls? A brad makes a lovely substitute or make dew drops using Crystal Effects and reinker!

I chose to go "Clean & Simple" this week. The "Elegant Lines" Textured Impressions Embossing Folders" lends a hand when it comes to creating texture and a clean background.

My little "Fleurettes" are so simple to create. I used approximately 3" of "Satin Ribbon" and ran thread along the edge with a needle and tied both ends together. Classy and simple. The branches are from the "Extra Large 2 Step Bird Punch" and the pearls are "Basic Pearl Jewels".

I sprayed the entire card with "Vanilla Smooch Spritz" when the card was completed-to add a little bit of shimmer. I'm not sure if you can tell in the photo above or the photo below. I even sprayed the flowers!

Card Supplies:

Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White & Wild Wasabi
Tools: Big Shot, Elegant Lines Impressions Folder, Bird Punch
Inks: Basic Black
Stamp Sets: Occasional Quotes
Accessories: Satin Ribbon in Basic Black, Pearl Jewels, Smooch Spritz

Have a great day everyone! We are still experiencing a hot spell in Maine with weather in the 98-102 degree range (unheard of in September) and Hurrican Earl is on his way for the weekend we've been told!
