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!

I have no doubt this is more beautiful than ever! In the gallery, in real life or on the red carpet with Lauren in it! I would say with me in it but I am afraid if I put this on I would need damask on my face to hide the one strething out the lovely pattern! Snort! Wowza, what a card this is Jennifer. The epitome of beautiful, classy, elegant and stunting. I love what you did here...its a little snapshot of just a hint of the dress.....Very cool! I agree its dripping with elegance.......
Ohh...speaking of dripping, did you see those hot fudge sundaes the table next to us was served. Howza come all those skinny girls aren't eatin' em?

It would be a beautiful gown - I can just see it as the sort of thing my grandmother wore. Gorgeous work, as always . It's lovely to see the different types of magic you work with thread.
