Heart of gold - wedding/anniversary card

Hiya
Here's a card i've made for one of mum's work friends, for her wedding in a couple of weeks.
The cardblank was already embossed with the flowers, but i cut it down as it was A5 sized, and i wanted it smaller. I inked the edges with antique linen distress ink, and embossed lines around each edge, then made a heart shape from x-cut punched flowers, and added perfect pearls and glitter glue to the centres, then finished it with a couple of white pearls.
I need a bit more practice with perfect pearls, so don't look too close!
I'm entering it in:
Cupcake Inspirations - white/wedding photo inspiration
Lexi's Creations - flower power
Pocket Full of Posies - floral fantasy
Crafty Cardmakers - clean & simple
My Time to Craft - jewelled
Right, i'd better go sort my background out then...
Thanks for looking
Rachel xx

Hi Rachel,

Sorry I've not been round recently. Mr Blogger was being a real pain in the whatsit for the last 2 weeks.

You are such a talented young lady. All your projects that I've missed are beautiful (including the cakes, etc., which have me wishing I had some to go with my coffee) and I am sure your Mum's friend is going to cherish this particular card. It's quite stunning!

Have you seen the Elusive Images Halloween blog hop (chance to win some fun Halloween stamps)? Click on the EI DT logo on my blog to go see what it's all about if you're interested.

Hugs
