Good Sunday morning all!  I haven't used teal card in what seems like forever, so I picked it up for this one and love the way it came out!  I started by embossing the background with the Beaded Fanfare embossing folder.  We are sold out on this folder, but plan to bring it back in sometime soon as we have had many requests for it.  I cut two of the Pyxis Gemini dies in white using both cutting edges and backed both of them with teal card.  I raised them with mounting foam and added the to the sides of the card, trimming my embossed background so it did not extend past them.  I backed the entire piece with a piece of coconut white card.  For the focal element, I used the Lisbon die, cut in teal card.  I cut the centre of it out with the inner cutting die in the set.  I backed the frame with white card and added mounting foam to raise it.  I stamped my sentiment and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet so I was able to cover it in Diamond Sprinkles before gluing the frame over the top of it.  I attached it to the centre of the card and then added flatback pearls to embellish the die cuts and corners.  The card was completed with a white pierced mat, a thin teal mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8" in size.
