Spellbinders Fleur De Elegance and Chameleon Pens

Hello Blog Friends, I am back with an exciting project to share with you today - I am using TWO new products - the first being gorgeous (and I do mean gorgeous) Fleur de Elegance Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Decorative Accents - being a fan of the Fleur de Lys, this Die appealed to me from the first time I saw it.

The image is retired from The Craft's Meow, but such a lovely one to colour - using the new Chameleon Pens - I was sent some to sample and see how I liked them - well - I don't like them - I LOVE them!  They make colouring so easy and the beautiful shading is achieved with one pen - worth checking out! 

The oval is Grand Ovals Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities®.  My Dies have been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine. 

 Lace has been adhered across the center of the oval, along with a double Seam Binding bow has been adhered using liquid glue, followed by a Mulberry Rose.

 I have also used  Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Squares for dimension ,and E-Z Runner on this card.
