Things with Wings!

I have something new that I am just loving! Surprisingly, it's not new stamps or dies (although I am very excited with my new playthings!), but it is embossing powder! It's Ranger Embossing Pearl in Pale Gold and I think it's beautiful. I used it on my last card and just had to use it on this one too. It matches Liquid Pearl in Buttercup perfectly and the colour is a lot softer than regular gold powder.

I wanted to use a lot of white (again!), so I cut the frames, the label, the lattice and all the flowers and leaves from the same white card stock. I used that pale Gold EP on the dragonfly and the label. I tried using some colour on the label, but decided it looked best with just the white and gold. I coloured the flowers with Pebbles Pearlescent chalks, because I wanted the colours to be very soft.I made all the flowers from assorted dies instead of using bought flowers like I usually do.I added Liquid Pearls to the flower centers to match the gold EP, and a tiny bit of glitter just on the ends of the white daisy petals, beneath the yellow
The card base is a blue with a slightly mauve cast, I tried pastel purple, but it looked too Easter-ish. There is vellum behind the wings, painted with a wash of a pale Twinkling H2O blue.
Thanks to my awesome sister for the Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Three. I really like it!!
The stamp is from JustRite's Chicken Soup Labels Four, I think I'll be getting a lot of use out of this set.

The computer has decided that it can read my SD card today, so I thought I should take advantage of its good mood. So, Marge, when you see this card posted at JR,you won't be overly shocked by it not being one of the last. It is just under the wire at Loves Rubber Stamps though! :-D
