Victorian teapots, cups, hat pins, hats, hat boxes--wow! These are all the things I love and in colors I love. I want to redecorate the bedroom, but DH probably would not care for all the florals, lace, and other frills that would go along with it. So, I will settle on a card instead.
I used a very old piece of Victorian-looking DP, the name of which I do not recall. I watercolored the flower using SU markers in Certainly Celery and Rose Red. The corner flourish is a CB die, the butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch, the border punch is a Fiskars punch, and the row of beads is from Hobby Lobby.
I did not know how to stick the beads to the card without making a gluey mess, so I used double-stick tape. This was not a great choice because it shows and some sticky parts are waiting to attract some dust. If anyone knows a good way to affix a row of beads, will you please PM me? Thanks.
TFL and have a good Saturday.

Wow! This is beautiful! I love the bg dp, your lovely stamped image, the punched borders, ribbon tabs, butterfly, and beads! LOL I think you could say I pretty much loved everything you did here! I think that was a fabulous idea using the tape. Sometimes I have pierced a hole and sewed the ends in but then you have to cover it on the inside. TFS!!
