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.
