I decided these colors lent themselves quite well for a Victorian card. Gave me a chance to use a set new to me, Tea Party. I stamped my image in Soft Suede and let dry for a little while. Then I colored the flowers and tea cup with my markers. Letting the stamped image dry a bit keeps the markers from bleeding into the Soft Suede. I then cut the image and mats using Opulent Ovals. I popped that up over my DP mats and lace border. Added some pearls and it's done. I was going to try to add some ribbon instead of the pearls, but any of the ribbon I tried just didn't cut it. I like the pearls better. TFL ladies.

This is lovely. Your soft suede really sets off the lovely image!

What a beautiful card! I do like the Victorian feel to this card. Thanks for the tip about letting the stamped image dry a bit before coloring. Great use of this week's colors!
