for Today's WT challenge, Lisa (aka Shoe Girl) asked us to use beads. My first thought was "oh no, I don't have any beads." And then I remembered I had bought these little white beads YEARS AGO, and never used them. So I sewed them on as earrings to this Diva.
Thanks so much, Lisa! For jarring my memory. Thanks to everyone else for stopping by and taking a closer look. I really do appreciate it :-)

Chic and sophisticated card, Barb, with this retro image of this stylish woman. Love her "pearl" earrings and what looks like a mink stole(remember those?). FAB card.

This is just so 1920s. What is a girl without her pearl earrings? Love them. The little fur (mink?) cape looks so real. Love the vintage style you have created and your choice of colours is just right.
