Pearls for SOS.....

Hello everyone: The new challenge over at SHOPPING OUR STASH is PEARLS, love this little treasures from the sea.
This is my card that I  hope will inspire you  to come and play along.


The embossing folder is a super old one from Stampin' Up!  I don't remember the name but it's beautiful, as you can see.
I just embossed a panel of white cardstock with it and then, colored it with Picked Raspberries and Shabby Shutters distress inks.  I added the pearls to the center of the flowers.
Most times, I stamp several images and color them just to have them at hand, it saves me lots of time because I go to my box where I keep this images and, if the theme of a challenge calls for one or I need one to fill in a space, I have it ready to go. 
This image and the sentiment are from an old Flourishes set called "From the Garden".

************************************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.


The border on top is from a retired SU set called "Delicate Details", the sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Everything's Even Rosier, the little flower on the corner is from a retired SU set called "Stippled Blossoms".

I hope you stop by the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge blog to get more inspiration from my teammates' creations and then, come and join us in the gallery.

I would like to play with the following challenges.

Dream Valley Challenges #187 "PEARLS OR GEMS"

Scrapbook Stamp Society Challenge #150 "Anything Goes
An option of embossing, wet or dry.


Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.
Until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

Beautiful card, love that folder and haven't used it for a long while. Great idea colouring images when you have time and it really helps when in a time crunch. btw lovely colouring.

I have that folder, too, and not sure of the name as it's unlabeled. Elegant Bouquet? I do love it, and it's especially pretty with the soft ink colors and pearls. Perfect with your garden image. I love the idea of having images all colored up and ready to go. I can't color fast enough to do that, but what fun it would be to have a little box full of them!
