Instead of a elegant gown, you could say I took a part of it from Simone. She finally got off the phone and had this beautiful gold and chocolate damask gown made. I took part of that for this card.
This is for Lauren in Michigan. Lauren is an up and coming actress that had a fabulous opportunity to go to an apprenticeship at the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsey Mi., but has had a major illness upstage this opportunity.
This Tea party is all about elegance. I'm not coming in the back door this week, this card is dripping with elegance.
The star is done with gold thread on chocolate c/s that matches the beautiful "Bella Floral Chocolate Damask" c/s by Kanban, in the U.K. Chocolate brown crystals and a gold pearl top off the elegance.
Sad to say, this card looks so much better IRL. It was so hard to get a good photo of this card that would show the glitz and glamor to it's full potential. If this were a gown, it would be beautiful.
I can just imagine Lauren in a gown of these colors... Beautiful!

Uh...I'll take a dress like this! How big do they come? Ok, that was not my first thought, but then I read your details! I am so amazed at the jaw-dropping beauty of your work. Your detail is incredible and I can only imagine how gorgeous it is IRL. You can always tell when a person has their heart in their work- and you surely do! Beautiful!
