Hello Crafty Peeps,
Welcome to 2025 and my first inspiration post of the year for The Paper Shelter!
Our theme for this week is Embellish It, so bring out the bling, lace, ribbon, brads etc. and show us your creations by entering over at the blog.
I have used Elegant Era Muse, as I felt she was definitely worthy of some gems and pearls.
Purple is my favourite colour, plus it's also a very regal colour, so I did the whole card in different shades.
I searched Google for a sentiment and found this perfect quote from Audrey Hepburn.
Plenty of bling and sparkles for this beauty!
Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.
Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!
You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.

Gorgeous card! I love how regal she looks and the embellishments in her hair! I would have never thought of that! What great idea!

ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, Nicola! She certainly looks very regal and elegant in her bejewelled gown and her layered background is perfect.
