Pearls and Swirls Easel Card for Bizzy Becs and Oh Alice

Hi all, over at Bizzy Becs they have a store challenge going to use Pearls and Swirls on your creation, now this definately took me out of my comfort zone, can't remember using pearls, only just started using rhinestores lol! Our Sammi from Mad for Markers designed the sketch below for the Oh Alice Challenge with a twist, to break the rules meaning you have to redesign the sketch, not often you can have fun breaking rules without getting into trouble lol! First rule I broke was to make it circular, so hope thats o.k. and counts.
Finally, I have used Snow Queen from Tracey Spesch Stamps, coloured her gorgeous gown and gloves lightly using BV0000, BV00 and C00. The flower ribbon was coloured using BV00 then I glued a little pearl on for the centres, the pearl necklace and earing were coloured also using BV00. Some parts of the flowers were also coloured using BV00 then added Stickles Frosted Lace. Pearl ribbon across the middle.
The background I used my SU So Swirly Wheel, versamarked then heat embossed with purple powder. Used special effects on crown top and pearl images on the dress and hair, gold spica for the crown base.

Now this is my first attempt at using more than three flowers!! With a swirl of pearls leading away. Distressed and kindyglitzed around the edge of the base.
