Just A(nother) Note...

Happy Monday to you!  This week is starting off with a light and fun note card...and believe it or not, no additional flowers except those in the digital collage on the card front!

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...
