Something shiny...

Don't you just love a bit of sparkle or shine, I most certainly do. So a quick post for a couple of new challeges at Less is more and Fusion.

After a lovely week in the Dordoigne visiting lots of lovely places including Carcassone, Albi etc etc I have had a week of fighting off a cold so back to myself this week.  And here is my card......very difficult to photogrsph shiny stuff or is it just me...

Still loving vellum so I decided to soften the leaves cut from gold mirri card by adding a vellum banner simply heat embossed with white for the happy birthday. I added a fussy cut vellum flower also white heat embossed and coloured from the back with some pearlescent bright pink so that it too was delicately shiny, although I had added a trio of tiny clear sequins  I wanted to draw the eye round the card so added some tiny gold dots around a few leaves.  Sorry about the red look of one of the bottom leaves on the close up it's just a reflection
