Merry Monday Using Gold, Bronze and Turquiose

Hi friends!  Marcia selected a beautiful photo inspiration for us this week for the Merry Monday Christmas card challenge # 239.
I don't know why I struggled so much with it though.  In the end I am very happy with it, but I will tell you it was something that evolved from nothing that is now on the card!  Ha ha!
I put some bronze perfect pearls on a piece of water color paper and cut out the joy word.  
The background piece from a gold pattern pack from PTI.  
Dies & stamps:  Poppystamps (joy)
PTI: Fab Flakes
Ink:  CPD: Fiesta Blue
PPP clear sequins
 
I look forward to see what you create with these colors:
copper/bronze, gold and turquoise! 
Have a happy week!
Heart Hugs, friends!

You do the most unique things. I would never think to put Perfect Pearls on paper and cut a sentiment from it - that is very clever and looks great. I love blogging for learning from others. This is a pretty design a great take on the challenge.

Pretty card! I struggled with this week's color challenge too. (Took me two tries to make a card!) but I thought the colors looked so nice together had to keep trying.

Nicely done! Such a great use of each color and they look great together. I tried something but the turquoise wasn't turquoise. Ha
