Welcome once again - this weeks release from McMahon Five Design.com that I have illustrated is a vintage image Sisters
The image was coloured using chalks, and mounted on some medium blue paper to define it.
It is a beautiful image and a joy to use.
I had wanted a paper that did not detract from the image, and found this in a pad of paper by Kaisercraft. it is very subtly coloured, but has a glorious embossed surface on it.
The lace is ecru IRL and the ribbon and pearls a rich cream colour.
The card was finished with some more pearls in the corners.
And some punched butterflies and pearls flying off the top corner of the image.
