PPA58 Pretty in Pearls Duo

This week's Pals Paper Arts Elements of Style Challenge (PPA58) is about creating a clean and simple look with a splash of pearls. You can even improvise with brads or something fun and shimmery like Smooch Spritz. Click here to see the PPA Design Team's Pearl-y Projects and play along!

No one inspires clean and chic styling like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey's simple look was translated into my non-traditional holiday color combo and dotted with an abundance of pearls. What do you think?

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP: Simplicity is at the heart of this mini card and envie combo. Meet two NEW Holiday Mini stamp sets Bright Christmas (sentiment) and Tags til Christmas (ornament).
