Here's something a little different. Well, the easel card isn't different, but the focal point is! This is a wooden cross ornament that I found at Micheal's a few weeks ago on one of my scouting trips. They had several different shaped crosses, but this one caught my creative eye.
As you can see in this close up version, I attached pearls around the outside and distressed the wood with Rangers Tea Dye Distress inks. I also tied a sheer bow around the center of the cross. The roses were made with a Marvey punch, I distressed ink them as well. I used Star Dust Stickles for the glitter as it compliment the soft teal card stock I used.
Now for the details....Martha Stewart - Punch Around the Page Iron Fence, Frond and Branch Punch
Spellbinders - Oval Beaded Nesties, Large Oval Nesties, Fancy Tags 2, Parisian Motif Shapabilities
Cuttlebug Embossing Folders, Rangers Tea Dye Distress Ink, Pearls, Stardust Stickles
