(Again, please excuse me for the pic.. even the stray glue marks show..hmm !!)
I cut two pieces of card stock of equal dimensions for the base (to give it proper strength), rounded the corners with my Docrafts Corner Cutter and stuck them together. Then matted a DCWV pattern paper after rounding its corners too. Then I die-cut the photo using Spellbinders Nestabilities Blossoms 4 die and matted it on to black card stock cut with the same die. The embellishment are glass stones that we usually find in our homes for decor (to put in fish tanks, glass bowls etc), some pearls and a Portacraft sticker with ribbon bought from Itsy Bitsy during the recent summer sale.. I bought the Spellbinders Die too on the same sale and was raring to try it :-). After sticking it all together, I stuck some self-adhesive magnetic tape (that hubby bought for me in a US craft store - was on my wishlist and on his phone to-do list for a long time :-)) on the back to convert it to a fridge magnet.
So, how has this turned out??

Thanks Dr. Sonia.. I too loved the pebbles on it the most.. But one prob is that it made one side heavier.. Though the magnet is strong enough to prevent the card from tilting under its weight, I keep hoping it continues that way for a long time!! Should balance the weight next time I try something like this!!
Deletevery cute one!! I also love the glass pebbles..
