CCC#12 Chipped Enamel



I was browsing the web today and came across this blog that is doing challenges from TH book Compendium of Curiosities so I thought I'd give it a try . This week the challenge is found on page #44 chipped enamel --hadn't done this technique before but I'm happy with how it turned out . Not suppose to give details (one of the rules). DP is from TH Lost &Found pad. Image is a freebie art from Ladybug and friends.com.

A Rose



I made this card for a friend who's birthday is coming up soon . The flower was made from the spellbinders blossom die. I love making them and each one is a little different. For this one I sponged with distressed inks and them spritzed with perfect pearls to give it a little shimmer. The leaves are the ribbon leaves I won from a blog hop over at notimetostamp a few months ago . Lace is from the $ store .

Hope you're having a great day and thanks for looking
