Arturo + Pearls = Happy Dance

In this case, perhaps a waltz -- certainly something elegant. I placed an order with Ellen Hutson a few weeks ago for some Arturo stationery. Being the awesome crafter/businesswoman and all around nice person that Ellen is, she threw in some gorgeous self adhesive pearls (and some ribbon, too)! I wasn't really sure what to do with the pearls -- they are so beautiful, they went into the "hoard" category! However, today I made this card (which I mostly like): I used the beautiful celery green Arturo card, simply stamped with an SU Taken With Teal marker onto one of the stamps from Impression Obsession Damask Floral clear set (to die for, IMHO and only $15 -- less if you use a coupon!) and the word "Bonjour" from Stampin Up's Carte Postale. This color combination is fabulous, but I felt that I stamped the image and the word a bit too low on the card. Frustration to the max! So, I re-made the card with the blue Arturo stationery and suddenly remembered my pearls! What do you think?????? Pretty darn fabulous, if I say so myself (and you know I rarely crow about my own work.). Amazing what a few pearls can do! I think that Ellen has found the perfect accent when you are wishing you were Audrey Hepburn. (Please don't tell me you don't know who Audrey Hepburn is!) ***** Hmm, so now Julia wants to know my second favorite color. This is getting interesting. After buttery yellow, my second fave is blue! Anyone know why Julia wants to know? Julia??
