GDT Raise the Bar

I came top three at Raise the Bar and got to be a Guest Bartender for the week. Joni gave me the brief of Pearls, or pearly white. Now you know me - all or nothing!!! So my whole card turned out 'pearly white' plus pearls galore.

The image is Belles 'n Whistles and I saw this little lovely on Rosette blog and couldn't resist her, she's coloured with distress inks (still waiting for Copic paper!!!). her wings are glittered with frosted lace and I've added liquid pearls on top, also on her shoes, dress and sack. The cardstock is a watermarked pearlised one I found in my stash and I've used it throughout. The circle is cut with round nesties and embossed with the Divine swirl folder. The beautiful lace was sent to me by Squirrel (Rosey) before she left Singapore. The flowers are cut with EK Success retro flower punches and the edges inked with Walnut stain. The flower center is Prima as are the pearl swirls. The sentiment is Stampendous and the ribbon from my stash.

Right that's it from me for a few days. I've been to the eye doctor this morning as I've been having blurred and distorted vision since getting bitten round the eye with those pesky mosquito's. He gave me prescriptions, one for the optician and I now have to wear specs for reading and close work to rest my eyes and remove the glare, hopefully temporarily. 

Now I have to stay off my computer and do no close work for aprroximately a week!!!! EEEEK - what am I going to do with myself. An opportunity to clear out and reorganise my work space I suppose - don't wanna do that!!!

I have a couple of cards that just want finishing I'm sure that will be OK.


Edited: forgot again - I followed the fab sketch by Cathy at Sketch and Stash - thanks for that Cathy, loved working with it.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
