Every time I see a chandelier I think of the scene in Only Fools and Horses when they are cleaning them and are standing under the wrong one to catch it when it drops!! I can remember laughing and laughing at that it was so simple but brilliant. After the scene when Del boy falls backwards in the pub I think that must be my favourite. So why am I talking about Only Fools and Horses - because my card today has a chandelier on it!
Its a card I made for a friend's birthday which is today. The chandelier is from my Tim Holtz Bigz die and I have painted some pearls with Gold Paint Dabber. The image is by Stampavie a Penny Johnson Vintage (Chandelier) which I have distressed with some TH Antique Linen distress ink and then coloured with some gold Perfect Pearls which looks really gold in real life. I have added gold Liquid Pearls to the image. The flower is from Wild Orchid which has a Tattered Angel diamond spray on and has also been painted with Perfect Pearls and had some Distress Ink added also. The beautiful papers are from My Minds Eye paper pad entitled Paris and Co. I have used coredinations card stock and my Edgeabilities for the border. I have used a Tim Holtz die to cut Julie's name out. The inside is decorated quite plainly:
A Nellie Snellen heart die which has been covered in Tim Holtz tissue tape and then distressed and a Spellbinders Label which has also been distressed. I would like to enter the following challenges:
