Victorian Lady with Feathers

Welcome


I made this card the other day using The Victorian Ladies Stamp set from Kiwistamping - a local firm whom I blame for my stamping addiction.


The image was stamped with espresso ink, and coloured with chalks before being fussy cut. It was mounted with foam dots over a panel of patterned paper that had been embossed with the sizzex square lattice embossing folder that had Desert Sand ink rubbed over it.


The sentiment was gold embossed onto a semi circular scrap that was sitting on my desk.  Both the pieces of dp were off-cuts from another project.

The card was assembled onto a deep pink base, and lace and pearls added as embellishments.  The feathers were the final touch and really made the card 'come to life' as it were.

Nice. I love that you colored the lady in with chalks. Perfect for our chalk challenge at Chalk Ah Lot. Feathers seem to be very "in" right now. Yours are lovely.

You have a lovely and vibrant blog. What a great card too! I do like that stamp, but the best part of your design is the color. You really do make the very best of it. I love how you used the two feathers. Beautiful card!
