Pearls and Swirls

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #60 - "Pearls and Swirls"

Our challenge this week is to create a card or project filled with pearls and swirls.

SPONSOR: Simon Says Stamp

PRIZE: $25 Gift Certificate plus FREE shipping!

WEBSITE: http://simonsaysstamp.com/

Here is my DT creation for this week......



I actually had this project completed months ago,  but held out on posting it until this week's challenge - I just can't tell you how anxious I was to share this!  I really had fun creating this delightful piece - which is easier to put together than you may think.  I discovered this gorgeous creation on Kirsten's blog. She has a tutorial posted HERE, as well as other beautiful creations. 

Did you know that Prima has clear stamps?!  I didn't - until I found this stunning  flourish stamp "Nouveau" by Prima .  I knew it would be just perfect for the design I had in mind for this week's challenge, and I am so pleased with how lovely this gift purse turned out!

Here's the recipe for this project:
Heart purse tutorial can be found on Kirsten's blog, click HERE  (My sis-in-law cut out the hearts with her Pazzles- Thanks Linda!)
Stamp:  Prima clear stamp "Nouveau"
Ink: Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Stampin' Up! Perfect Plum
Embellishments:  Satin ribbon, Ribbed sheer/satin ribbon, Pearl strands (which I bought at Michael's), Basic Grey Magnets, Stickles Star Dust, Prima Rose, the leaves are handmade
Tools: MS Lattice Edge Punch, Stampin' Up! Curly Label Punch, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

I hope this pearly, swirly creation has stirred up some ideas, and inspired you to join us at the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge this week.  We look forward to seeing your pearly, swirly masterpieces!
