Elegant or boring?


Well I was going for elegant  but I'm not sure if I achieved it!  And I missed the challenge that was asking for elegance anyway lol...

A5 card blank made from ivory linen card.  I've used a cuttlebug embossing folder on pearlised paper for the tree - I've had this embossing folder for about a year I think, and this is it's first outing!  One of those things I just had to have... Red ribbed paper and gold cardstock from my stash, sentiment from Craftwork Cards, red pearls from stash.  I wonder if it needs something more - what does it need though?

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
Apologies for the awful photo, I can never manage to take a decent pic of anything red.

    This is a gorgeous card hun and would look amazing in lots of colours - you could try adding a glitter instead of pearls to give it a different look - its certainly very elegant. Hugs, Claire x
