Hi, there! Thanks for stopping by!
Just a quick creation that hopes to fill the bill on this challenge - RARE that I can partake! - the picture does not do this justice but I am still working on that aspect - both angle and brightness - oh well!- LOL
Rather than the typical means - I distressed the Magenta picture using gold and bronze Twinkling H2O's - and highligted the roses also using a variety of reds and golds H2O's - the frame is burnished with Viva Inka Gold (red and gold) and Viva Modellier Creme - mother of pearl then again burnished with InkaGold. the Maya Road Flowers on her hat are accented in Red Smooch -- Just a different means of aging - IRL it looks much better - I actually liked it IRL
Flowers, lace and feathered hats are my idea of that old world charm - long gone in my case!
Thanks for looking!

What a beautiful mix of vintage elements! Those resin flowers look gorgeous on her hat and the feather is perfect! This type of card so appeals to me, it's just lovely! And by the way, it qualifies for the Dirty Dozen gallery's central theme "text me"...you should put it in that gallery too!
