Playing with die cuts

Evening folks.
Hope you are all well this evening.  Not had much sleep in the last 24 hours as we had a rude awakening in the early hours of the morning.  My husbands shop that he owns was broken into.  So had to turn out in the cold to check whether anything was stolen and secure the property.  Fortunately they didn't take anything.  The police reckon it was young lads looking for any cash left on the premises.  Why young lads you ask?  Well, we are fairly close to the local cinema.  And whoever broke in left a load of popcorn scattered over the floor.  Presumably they dropped it when the alarm went off.  Pity they didn't choke on it. Managed to secure the property but still spent a good couple of hours trying to sort it out.  Don't hold out much hope of anyone being caught.  They haven't caught anyone the last 2 times the shop has been broken into.

Anywho, onto my card that I completed this evening.  It is a bit different for me but think it turned out okay.  I received lots of spellbinders dies for christmas so thought it was about time I used them.  So this was a bit of an experimentation.  My inspiration came from Sue Wilson's blog.  She demonstrates the spellbinders on Create and Craft and produces some fantastic cards.
Won't bore you by going into detail about how the card was created.  I will instead list the components of the card and hopefully you will recognise them in the card:

Coredinations Cardstock
Papermania Capsule Collection Papers
Vintage Ribbon
Pearls
Marianne die for the light blue swirls
Daisy Flower spellbinder die
Parisian Accents spellbinder dies
Parisian Motifs spellbinder dies
Decorative jewellery piece for centre of flower

Here is another photo showing the inside of the card.
