Paved Pearl Border Technique

Good morning all!   Today's card is a bit of an experiment.  I recently got an email from a blog follower named Sam Smithard and she included some pictures of the beautiful cards that she had made.  One of them had these lovely pearl borders that she told me were actually done using a roll of predone pearls of different sizes (and it was a bit pricey too, I was told!)  It gave me an idea to try to achieve a similar look using our Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA glues which I am calling the Paved Pearl technique.    I used a pencil to lightly mark out a half inch border on my card and proceeded to make different sized drops using the PVA glue.   I have to say that I rather enjoyed doing it as it was very relaxing and didn't take up too much time either.  I made the drops randomly so that there was a mixture of larger drops with tiny bits in between too.  I left it aside to dry overnight before I assembled the rest of my card.  While it was drying, I went to work on the rest of the card.  I inked the Heart embossibility folder on the negative side using Tattered Rose distress ink.  Using milk coloured card, I embossed it so that the ink transferred to the background of my card, giving it a hint of rose colour accenting the hearts.  I used a piece of our brand new Layered Scalloped cream coloured lace as an accent on the side. If you like this lace, please ask your local stockists to carry it in their shops(there are three styles of lace, all available in both cream and black).   I cut three sizes of the Moroccan Motifs in milk and rose card.  Using the largest die, I traced around it to create a faux nestie for the largest motif.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the small Moroccan accent piece.  I used a light inking of tattered rose to highlight the sentiment.  I completed the card with a swirly pearly accent piece.  What do you think of this new look for my edges?  all for now, Sue x
