Sorry, running a bit late today - I've got a rotten cold and being out for a couple of hours this morning seemed to finish me off... I slept most of the afternoon... oops! So many bugs around at the moment, wish they'd leave us all alone. Dex is poorly too and he can't sleep with his bunged up nose, so that means we're all tired too!
Anyway... here's my DT card for A Gem of a Challenge, where our new theme is 'ribbon & lace'.
I've made this one for an order... I don't have an Aunty Marg lol.
Oh, and someone asked me how I get the pearls to look round with the Viva pearl pens - I've found if your pearls are teeny they are naturally fairly rounded. But if you need them bigger, like the ones on this pretty tree, add your pearls and then tap the underneath of your piece of card a few times and this will round them out... hope that helps :o)
