Back to my fave colours.......

Evening all, thanks for popping by again, hope you're all keeping warm.  
Well, tonight's card has been made using my favourite colours, and if you're a regular visitor, you'll know what they are ;-)   I enjoyed making this card, 'cos I've used all the things I love to mess on with........




I started off with white card from Papermill  and inked, sprayed and splodged!
Distress inks, Cosmic Shimmer embossing powders, and Cosmic Shimmer pearlescent mists



The rose, leaf and chain started off life as part of a necklace



I love adding Freshwater Pearls to my work.....the wired ribbon is my favourite at the moment....it 'stays put'!




Look how thick the embossing powder is.....it's my all-time favourite, and I've tried loads.





The stamp I've used is by IndigoBlu, think it's called 'Ice Maiden'.....Instead of using it in the normal way, I stamped it so the face is looking at the back of her own hair, strange, I know, but can you see what I mean?



Look at the shine on the embossing, I love it!










I hope you like this card as much as I do.......please leave a comment if you've enjoyed looking.
I love reading all the comments, and I never mind if they are complimentary or critical......It's only criticism which helps us improve!
Until next time, take care....
