MMTPT345 - Bring all things Victorian to the Teaparty this week. Victorian hats, jewelry, dresses and yes...tea services!!!
EPEC ~ (EXTRA POINTS FOR EXTRA COOKIES!)
A bit of textile of any sort would be a lovely addition to your card this week...but garnish it with ostentatious notes of Indian, Russian or French and it is the back door for you!!
To find out why as well as get the address to mail your card, please visit post449 in the Teapot Tuesday Destination Station thread.
Thank you Jan (Precious Kitty) for the tea cut and oval die. I do not own much in the way of Victorian but I do own this wonderful piece of rose paper that I used as my wedding thank you cards many years ago. I only had one piece left and it is now much smaller but I am trying to use stuff up and this seems the perfect way to use it on a Victorian card. I shaped the pink flowers and added a pink ribbon bunching it up on the card and putting one as a bow on the larger flower. Added pink pearls and mounted the die cuts.
Thank you for looking!

This is absolutely lovely...such a poignant story - you used a RAK from a Teapotter and paper from your own wedding celebration. Your design is beautiful and I especially love the ribbon treatment that you used. Your flowers are just so pretty and the perfect finishing touch. Rheannon would love this! Thank you so much for coming to her Teaparty. You are first in line so make sure to grab extra cookies...I won't say a word (giggle!) Big hugs from NJ!

This is so pretty and feminine! Your rose paper is perfect for a Victorian design and the tea cup sure came in handy ;) I LOVE the flowers and your bunched up ribbon treatment...what an awesome card that will be so appreciated.

What a beautifully elegant teacup, so perfect. (I nearly took a photo of some china cups of my grandmother's to use - but that would have taken way too long, washing the dust off them first ;-)). Your flowers are, of course, gorgeous and the cascade of ribbon is fab.

Lisa, this is just beautiful! What a lovely gesture to use such special paper as the background. The ribbon treatment is fantastic, and your flowers are beautifully done!
