Allsorts challenge 47

This week at Allsorts it is the fantastically talented Brenda's turn to host the challenge. She selected the theme "Petals and Pearls", and I'm sure you can make something absolutely gorgeous out of that.
I took this old notice board and painted the frame with linen acrylic paint. Distressed it to get the shabby look, put a new hanger ribbon and attached some petals and pearls. To make the brown cork plate less brown I used a sponge with acrylic paint. Images (Karen's Doodles and Whiff of Joy) are painted with distress ink - victorian velvet and pumice stone. Pearl swirls made with pearl makers and the help of my trusted home-made swirl template.


The compulsory "before-picture" ;)


Our Creative Corner has a bow theme so I'm entering that as well =).

Love the image of this young lady looking so grown up and sophisticated! The soft browns and touch of pink are wonderful! What a great idea to dress up a bulletin board!
