Hi everyone,

Nicole here today to share a card featuring the new pearlised card rang from Papermilldirect. I am really enjoying working with these cards, they add such a beautiful pop to simple cards for that touch of elegance. For this card I used:

• Papermilldirect Rani Pink Lustre Print Royal Card 
• Papermilldirect Intensive Pink
• Papermilldirect Hammered White

I cut a base layer of the lustre pink and then cut a mat of the hammered white with a heart cut out to place over this. I then cut 5 hearts - two from the lustre card and three from the intensive pink. I scored these hearts down the middle so I could get a slight fold to get some dimension, and layered them alternating them, with the lustre ending up on top. I added a row of pearls on the centre of the top heart then and on the corners.

You can see the dimension of the heart in this side view. I added some foam squares in the layers to keep the dimension on the heart. The hammered card stock along with the 3D effect of the heart makes this a simple but eye catching card, and the shimmer on the card gives a beautiful elegant touch!

I hope you try out the lustre cards soon, they would be perfect for Christmas makes too!
