Beautiful

There is something about the colour yellow that just uplifts your mood and if you think about it all the nice things in this world are yellow, its such a happy colour even in the deluge of rain that Mother Nature has lovingly bestowed upon us!

I've made this with the Time Out challenge in mind and took inspiration from the beautiful floral arrangement and the gold cutlery... rather posh, gold :)

I started by just stencilling some pearlescent brilliance gold down the one side direct to the card base.  I stamped the flowers and embossed in white and coloured with alcohol markers, then fussy cut out with my huge dressmaker scissors - can't use those fiddly tiny ones, they squash and annoy my fingers!

The 'beautiful' has been die cut once out of non-shed green glitter card and two other times from plain cardstock then layered together to add dimension.

To finish I added a couple of pearls and a strip of gold glitter card down the spine edge.

Happy Paddling, if you're here in the UK ;)
