It’s Sunday, and that means Paper Players time! This week Lesley has a sketch for us:
I had a totally different card made for this challenge, then changed my mind at the last minute. I also realized that the last four challenges I’ve done here have all been Christmas cards! I guess “tis the season”, right? I still had some of that lovely glimmer paper on my desk from last week’s card, so I used a few scraps for my pretty card today:
I even had a different DP in mind when I began this card, then found this little scrap from a couple years’ ago holiday mini….and it was so pretty with my swirly dove I just had to use it! There is some embossing going on, a couple diecut & punched snowflakes, and some pearls!!! Lots of pearls…..
Which qualifies it for this week’s Pals Paper Arts challenge 121 as well, which is to use pearls! I just thought they looked so elegant with the shimmer and swirls! What do you think? I was tempted to add glitter, but I thought it would be a bit much, LOL!
Hope you’ll play along with us this week as well! We’ve got two more weeks and then we’ll be taking a little break for the holidays…hope to see you at the Paper Players!

LeAnne,

Love love love how the Baja Breeze looks here! Such a pretty card - and the tag in the background is great! Won't be long and you-know-who will be wearing pearls!
This is so pretty LeAnne! I am loving that silver glimmer paper. It works so perfectly with these colors. Also love that you used the tag die for your vertical image. So clever.
Great details, as always...like the dove's tail extending outside the oval shape...and pearl-on-glitter snowflakes, wow!
This is just gorgeous! I love the soft colors and all the sparkle!
Ooooh, love all these pearls and sparkle...combined with baja breeze...swoon! Lovely card LeAnne!
This card is amazing, LeAnne! I love the glitter and pearls! It is so beautiful!
Ooooooo, LeAnne, you had me at sparkly silver paper! This is gorgeous! I love that stamp with the old DP (I've got some in my stash, too!;) The pearls are so pretty & the dry embossing is the perfect background. I really hope your Thanksgiving was fabulous! :)
Beautiful card! I love that shimmer! Thanks for joining us at Pals Paper Arts! :)

All I'm going to say, is that this is FABULOUS! Yes, it is! I love how the DSP pairs so beautifully with the image and all of that sparkle...ah, you know how much I love the sparkle. Absolutely stunning, LeAnne! :)
This is so elegant LeAnne, love the soft colours and all the glimmer...the pearls are perfect to accent the dove...
Hugs,

Beautiful card Leanne! Love the pearls sprinkled about and the gorgeous embossed background! Thanks for the inspiration!
Two words - absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
LeAnne, This is so soft and lovely with amazing details. The glimmer paper with baja breeze looks fantastic. Fabulous job AGAIN my friend.
LeAnne, the placement of both your snowflakes and pearls are just DEVINE! Love the cool soft color palette and your little angel pictured at the bottom sure does sparkle too! :)
