Sabrina has another fine challenge for us this week:
The Finnish for February is “helmiku”, which means “month of the pearl”. Snow melting on twigs and refreezing as drops has a pearl-like look.
You can take it easy and just use pearls/Liquid Pearls on your card, or you could be adventurous and try out some pearl techniques; pull out that old Pearl-Ex or Perfect Pearls!! Here are a few suggestions to get you started, but feel free to use any others so long as they are pearl-related.
I used a layer of pearlized white over my entire rose. I also used some pearl-x on my embossed piece, and then added a few pearls as my embellishment.

Sabrina has listed the techniques you might want to try over on the CCEEstampers blog.
While you are there, check out the lovely cards created by the team members. If you play along, make sure you link up to the linky over on CCEE and if you post it on SCS use the CCEE1507 as your keyword.

Beautiful embossed background for this gorgeous pink rose framed with pearl corners and a pretty pink bow! Sensational design, Liz!
How beautiful, Liz...could you have colored that rose any better!!!!
Beautiful rose and card
Oh so pearly and pretty. Lovely rose.
Such a pretty card, Liz! I like how you "pearlized" your rose.
How pretty! I love that big rose, and I bet with a pearly sheen it looks fabulous. The Pearl-Ex finish on the embossed background is gorgeous, too!
You covered the challenge in several ways.....and so beautifully...love that rose....and the texture...wowza
