I used some very shiny white paper for the background but it appears in a muted gray somewhat. The patterned paper also in grays and pink is from Paper Studio. The butterfly die from Impression Obsession and the sentiment from Hero Arts. The pearls...........ah............the pearls! I can't even remember when I used pearls on a card the last time but they seemed to be needed on this one. I actually even found them pretty quick too! Surprise there!
Anyway, I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches so will enter it in their challenge. I'll also enter this in Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).
Thanks for stopping by...........
