What a lovely day here in Somerset and no rain, we seem to get one fine day and then half dozen days with rain. I am going out tomorrow so its bound to rain on me, as it does every time I go out, no wonder I cant get rid of my cold.
Today I bring you my card for this weeks Sunday CD challenge, its Pearls and Swirls this week, I had so many ideas and until I started the card well this is what I ended up with.
I used the Art Deco Timeless Keepsakes, somehow this challenge said to me Art Deco, I printed out three images and matted them on gold miri board which has not come out very well, perhaps because I took the photo in the sun. I put the middle image raised up on 3d stickers so its give a bit of height. I found this paper from my stock and it leaned its way nicely with the swirly pattern. I added two white roses, plus gold peel off swirls and a white hand made bow in the top corner. The pearls are put in each corner of the middle image and two at the top of the side images.
My silver dollar was in my purse where I have kept it since I was given it when I was 21, when we went to Majorca my purse was stolen and with it the silver dollar, after all the years of travelling I learnt one lesson don't take it with you. She found a 1974 silver dollar, and this will be put in my purse I was told when I was given it that keeping it in my purse meant I would always have money, and it will stay home when I go abroad. I don't want to lose it again. I never thought I would ever get another.
I hope the sun is shinning where ever you are.
Take care
Hugs
