Another Faux M-O-P Card

I enjoyed playing about so much the other day, that today I decided to have another go at this faux mother-of-pearl technique.
This card is for a very dear friend of Barry and myself, whose husband was rushed into hospital yesterday morning with a heart attack. It was uncertain whether or not he would survive the night. Thankfully he has survived the night, but is still critically ill and will need open heart surgery if he can survive the next 5 weeks. This called for a very special card, to let Christine know that we are thinking of her.
Very similar to yesterdays posting, but today the colour combo is Marina Mist and Whisper White with a little bit of Beau Chateau DSP and Marina Mist 1/8" Taffeta ribbon - usual bling of Basic Pearls, and stamp-set Easter Blossoms.

Easter Blossoms - Faux Mother of Pearl Technique

Reading Sarah Jane's blog on Thursday reminded me that I have not yet tried out the faux mother of pearl technique, so I googled it and found a video on U Tube that demonstrated it quite well. Then yesterday when Chris came over and later on Lyn joined us, we all had a go at this ourselves and enjoyed a messy time making the backgrounds. Here's my card that I did - inspired by Maria's blog here
