card made with papertrey ink Dotty Biscotti paper

Hello, friends!!

I hope you are all having a delightful week! I, as you know, am studying like crazy this week. However, I get to have lunch tomorrow with two of my favorite people Joy and Bryan the ScrapGuy! We always have the best time together, so it will be a nice break from studying.

Anyway, on to the card....


I used Papertrey Ink throughout this card. For the focal point, I used one of the new dies that they are selling with my cuttlebug.


The yellow 'pearls' are liquid pearls that matched perfectly. A tip for using liquid pearls: after applying to the paper, thump the back of the paper so that it evens out. It will dry nice and flat when this is done properly.


Ok friends, I am off to study some more for my American History exam. Have I ever told you how much I love history? If I was not going to school to be a graphic designer, I would have majored in History! The art part wins out though. I can't help myself!

Have a great day!

    Oh melanie very pretty card. Have you tried the new liquid pearls by Viva Decor. they form a perfect half pearl when they dry.

    I thought I would tell you this since you love pearls like me.
