I Tried - *Really* I Did. . .


. . . to not use any pearls on this card.  You have to believe me {insert pleading look here}.  In fact, I had the entire card put together and was even taking pictures of it before I just couldn't stand it any longer!  That space down below the scallops was just too perfect for some tiny Pomegranate pearls.

Let me back up a bit - it's Viva La Verve Sketch Friday over at Splitcoast and this week's sketch was pretty straight-forward and the "twist" this week's was to use flowers:

I was out and about this morning and stopped to check out the scrapbooking section at our local drug store.  I picked up a pad of DP from K&Company that was the jumping off point for my card:
Recipe: Stamps: Meditations (Verve), Inspired by Nature (SU!)  Paper: So Saffron, Purely Pomegranate, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, "Urban Rhapsody" (K&Company)  Ink: Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate, Barely Banana  Accessories: Nestabilities, paper flowers, rhinestone brads, paper piercer, Martha Stewart border punch, Purely Pomegranate satin ribbon, adhesive pearls, sponge dauber

I've been having trouble taking a good picture - it's either too dark or too bright. . . this one's too dark.  But my readers are so very clever, they can *imagine* what it really looks like!  

Taylor is celebrating a year of Cupcake Challenges with 9 sketches this week so if I'm going to finish all of them, I'd better get busy!  Later!
