AUG08VSNMINIG *"Persuasion" and the Art of Frippery*

[deipara]

Challenge Title: Persuasion and the Art of Frippery
Book Title: Persuasion by Jane Austen
Hostess: deipara (Sara)
VSN Code: AUG08VSNMINIG
Date and Time: Friday, June 20th 2008 at 8pm CST

What I love about the novels of Jane Austen is that the main characters will take the simple dresses or bonnets and embellish them with ribbon, feathers and other do-dads. They could turn a very simple bonnet into something eyecatching. In Pride and Prejudice Lydia buys a hat simply to pull it to pieces and make something new.

Challenge: To create 2 cards that start out identical - one to remain simple and unembellished and the other to be dressed up with ribbons, feathers, beads, brads, etc.

And most of all, have FUN!!!

**Special 1 hour challenge**

Cards for this challenge can be found HERE.

***All June VSN MINI creations must be completed by July 4th***

Thanks to our hostess. I've never done this before and it was awesome. I can't wait to see which card is chosen as the favorite. It may not be the fanciest, you never know.

[Dara]

here are my cards. This was fun. I enjoyed the challenge of making the two cards. I must say, mine did take a little longer than an hour, when you see my cards, you will understand why.

Fun Challenge!

Here are my 2 cards. Thank you Sara. It was good to have the challenge of making 2 cards that start out the same, with one ending up more decked out than the other.

Cheers,
