Without a flower cluster to assemble, it seemed as though this card went together so quickly - but each time I played with adding more dimension to it with embellishments, it looked overdone - so I left it alone.
Once again, I used the dry brush technique around the punched edges, and some ink, paint, and distressing on the paper/cardstock elements...
I used a heavier coating of clear coarse glitter on the Eiffel Tower to give it the illusion of the tower sparkling with tiny lights...it adds a nice dimensional touch to the flatness of the digi collage...
A couple Hug Snug bows topped with a single large pearl are accented with a pearl wire spiral and a tiny sentiment tag...
And finally, a peek at the inside...all the edges of this card were dry brushed with white paint...inside and out, front and back...
