Make It Monday #228: Pearlized Blending

Today's card will be entered in the Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink challenge.  This was not an easy one for me.  I am ok with what I got, but not crazy about it.  Check out the the Challenge.  It is called Pearlized blending.  It can be quite gorgeous, so check out what the others have done to achieve the look.
                                                           Here is mine. 

I went with the light colors of blue, pink and gray along with Perfect Pearls in white.  I do like the "brushed" off background, and the look of the flowers "floating" in water.  Sorry, I thought my picture would catch the shimmer. 
Recipe:
GKD card stock Moonlight Fog, White and scraps of Pink
Ink, Mama Elephant Winter, Memento London fog, Berry Sorbet, and Raspberry Fizz
Stamps, Brushed Off, Vintage Linens and Big Hugs by PTI
Clear embossing powder and Perfect Pearls in white
Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh

Thanks for checking out my post.  I really do enjoy reading all of your comments if you care to leave one.

  2. I think this turned out beautiful Barbara! I love that background with the colors you used, and your flowers are just lovely! It is hard to photograph the sheen of perfect pearls, but I'm guessing in real life this card really shimmers! :0)

  8. This is gorgeous, love your take on the challenge. I am so partial to white embossing a flower and then laying color over it. Great color palette, and those beautiful sequins delicately pick up the soft colors you have used. Really pretty!!
