I die cut the sentiment twice (one in white and one in blue), and embossed the white layer for some definition from the white background. I matted the white embossed sentiment over a blue one which just gave it a bit of colour from the side. I added a few pearls (yes I know they're a bit girlie, but I couldn't not add anything, could I?).
This card has gotta be right up there at the top of my C&S list, so I'm off to lie down & recover from a serious case of EWS (Embellishment Withdrawal Syndrome).
