Close your eyes

It's another 'fussy' card today, which is for the challenge at In The Pink where the theme is "With Love"; perfect for the romantics amongst us in the lead up to Valentines.

In reality my card is actually for some friends' engagement rather than valentines, but the engagement theme has still enabled me be all romantic with lots of pearls, flowers and sparkly organza ribbon.

I was rather pleased with the end result; it was one of those 'warm glow' cards (you know the kind I mean!!!) and I didn't really want to give it away.  :0)
