The Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901. Today's ABC16 is V for Victorian. I have a few Victorian pieces of furniture and a clock from my family. Antiques Roadshow now calls it 'brown' furniture, not very desirable anymore.
I used two new to me SSS and Sizzix 3D folders. Yes, the little oval frame is an ef. Sponged on some orchid Brilliance ink. There is unicorn white ink on the larger folder, very subtle. I have some reproduction Victorian scrap in my Easter stash so used some of that. Didn't want to cover up the background too much. I bought the larger ef because of a video by Yana Smakula of SSS. Interestingly, she is Ukrainian, lives in Ukraine and the last video I watched was her filming in her basement. I hope she is safe.
This is also for today's sketch by Lee...love it and thanks. Decided to go a different route than hexagons.

I really like this lovely shade of blue and the beautiful embossed leaves. Your ornate frame and the victorian ephemera are beautiful. I love that rabbit!

Beautiful Easter card, Jean! Pretty colours, the embossed bg and frame so lovely with the regal looking bunny and flowers! I love antique furniture, too, but the young ones do not seem to appreciate it~
