Less is more - sketch

To posts in one evening this as to be a record. I have  just been busy doing my Less is More card. This week you have to follow a sketch. I must admit I have never worked off a sketch before. I thought I would do something different and make a card with a bottle top. I flattened by bottle top and painted it all over with pearl paint. While it was drying I stamped my image and cut it out with a circle die. Glued it into my top and then filled it with Anita's clear gloss finish and filled the edge with seed beads and beads on my ladies head band. I Mounted my Bottle top onto a flower cut from some Guipere Lace I had then added  it on top of some satin ribbon.
Thanks for taking the time to visit. Happy crafting Hugsx ChrisB
