loved this site for window dreaming, Stef...I couldn't resist clickin' into the chandeliers. The red lacquer [/color=red]scarlet[/color] called my name! Let me know how I did!
I have been dehoarding my Basic Grey stash...and one of the papers from Scarlet's Letter, what a surprise, I know!!! called Fare Thee Well seemed just perfect. I used PTI poppy red for my large square mat and the chandelier, a gift from my sweet friend, Vicky was stamped with VersaMark and embossed with red ep. I added Diva Impressions 'Let your light shine'. Stickled the flames in the sockets popped the whole square on foam and I was almost done. I added clear embossing to several of the larger black flowers and a bit of stickles. I finished the card with a narrow grosgrain ribbon.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I am playing in the VSN so I'll be in and out commenting. Thanks for looking.

Scratches head, chandelier, where did she come up with that idea...
I think I'd have eaten several of my hats if no-one had done a chandelier. Great match with the Scarlett's Letter.
