For my card, I started with a base Pacifica CS base, I then choose the darker side of the Bashful cardstock and used the Rose Embossing folder to give it the pattern.  I then inked the raised image using Pewter ink.  The sentiment in stamped on the vellum and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.  I used the White Pearl gems at the corners where I placed some glue dots to secure the vellum to the Bashful cardstock.  I also added some smaller pearls to the swirls in the embossed image.
