At The Shabby Tea Room, we’re using this gorgeous photo selected by Fran, as inspiration for ‘Creative Candy’. I just love the colors in it and all the fabulous trims and embellishments it contains…
I received a new paper pad collection of ‘A Ladies Diary’ by Graphic 45 and couldn’t resist working with this image of a very elegant woman, dressed in satin and print and fur! It’s full of elegant papers and images and it seems that when it comes to paper, I’m a kid who can’t resist playing with her new toy!
The flower embellishments are cut from one of the papers and I used a treasured hoarded bit of elegant trim that shines and ‘drips’ as beautifully as the satin of the dress.
A beautiful mother-of-pearl button reminds me of the moon’s glow and is tucked above the sentiment tag, between the flowers. There is a wide band of vintage satin ribbon that I also bit the bullet and used! It’s a soft, pale aqua blue with a very high shine. It puts the newer satins to shame, but doesn’t photograph very well~
Thanks for stopping by~ hope you have a wonderful day.
*Hugs*
Rebecca

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous Rebecca!! A well deserved congratulations on becoming part of the design team!! Your work always leaves me inspired, so I’m glad I’ll get to see more!!!!
Gorgeous card!Would love to have all the items on the inspiration photo..such gorgeous soft and sweet colors.
Beautiful! But, oh good golly…I’m addicted to the 8×8 pad of this collection, and pulled that SAME image, but from the smaller pad, to make a card for this week…too funny!!
Rebecca, that is too lovely!!! I am curious about how you colored her satin dress.
I have never seen a button used as a moon before, and think that is beyond clever! Looks lovely, tucked in there.
I enjoyed the cards below, also. You are such a great artist!
Have a good week.
Hugs, Pat
