Gallery Idol Round 4 {10 Embellishments...Just For You}

Good morning! Thank you to everyone who voted for me last week and for all of the kind comments I received!! This week, we are to create a card using exactly 10 embellishments! No more, no less. There was no specification about using 10 different embellishments, so I could have used 10 pearls and nothing else...if I wanted.



This challenge WAS a challenge for me! I am not usually a card maker who uses a lot of embellishments. I admire the card makers who make embellishments look good on a project! I always struggle with that! But I was determined and pulled out all of those embellishments I had in my stash! I LOVE the look of embellishments...and tend to hoard them!!


My card was based on the cream flower.. It was the inspiration for my entire card. I pulled out the other embellishments to create a "clean" vintage look. My colours are Kraft, Vanilla and Espresso.

Here are the 10 embellishments I used:
1. Pearl-top right hand corner
2. Tag-Michael's Recollection Brand
3. Twine-At Top of Tag (I had to add it)
4. Flower-Recollections
5. Wood veneer Leaf-Recollections
6. 2nd Wood Veneer Leaf-Recollections
7. Lace Ribbon-folder in half and jutting out from the flower
8. Chocolate Striped Grosgrain Ribbon 
9. Cork Heart Pin-Little Yellow Bicycle
10. Martha Stewart Doily

I hope you like my Round 3 Card for Gallery Idol

  26. You put this together beautifully, Lesley. I've become fond of a more CAS style but I still see a lot of that even with 10 embellishments.

  27. This is so lovely, Lesley!! This was a challenge for me, too!! I am a through and through CAS designer, so I truly struggle to add a few gems here and there! It nearly killed me to add 10 of something to my project!! Yours is gorgeous! Wishing you luck!!
