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!

this looks so pretty! I have a friend who does this sort of paper embroidery, and they are fantastic, you're right, they are hard to give justice to in a mere photo! tfs

This would make the most elegant gown!!! Love the damask and it looks like it would be in white with black velvet. The star is really cool and I can picture it as a brooch at her waist! Many thanks for your efforts on Lauren's behalf!

Why didn't you do this one while you were here than I could have seen in IRL? But knowing what that pattern looks on the past cards I have used it, I know it looks beautiful even if the camera doesn't know that.
