Hello friends,
Today's card is especially for all my followers and for the kind comments and emails that you send to me.
I love hearing about your own craft, pets and more.
All the messages really do touch my heart so thank you....
I think this is very much a Victorian style card. I used the Classic Triple Scallop Edgeabilties® to create a pretty edge, Labels Twenty Two for the sentiment and some black pearl swirls.
Again, it is simply constructed but one of my favourites.
I have some more pictures to share with you from the Bluewater Craft event.
On display were some of the dresses from Downton Abbey, I'm a huge fan and I'm now
re-watching all the episodes on DVD while I craft.
To get up close and look at these was truly wonderful.
Lady Mary Crawley's red number...
Oh my..that is a hat - a truly beautiful hat!
Lady Sybil Crawley's outfit that caused a stir...love the detail...
I'm back tomorrow with another project and my final Bluewater craft event photos.
Bye for now and thank you for visiting.

ReplyDeleteI love this card Christine, both colours and design. I am a fan of Downton too, would love to see the dresses close up.
ReplyDeleteChris
Beautiful card, once again....so elegant....and I would dearly love to wear one of those gorgeous dresses!
ReplyDeleteChristine, the card is absolutely stunning, love the papers and the die. People write and comment "because you are worth it" to quote the advert! Thank you for showing us the Downton Abbey clothes, they are beautiful - and that hat, wow.
ReplyDeleteChristine I love your card and those labels are gorgeous and are now on my wish list!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Downton Abbey too, watched both series and it was soooo good.

Christine I just love todays card. It is a perfect creation to be sent as a Thank You and would even make a lovely wedding invitation, and thank you for 'sending' it to us, we love hearing about you and yours too.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely, we are all Downton Abbey fans. I think Julian Fellowes is a reincarnation of a Victorian author as he writes with such understanding of the times. I am a great lover of any of the period dramas inc Larkrise to Candleford by Flora Thompson and of course any of the works of Jane Austen etc. When they are on, quiet must be observed ;)..LOL!!
Well have a good evening
Hugs Linda x
The dresses look much better in real life than on the TV, fabulous.Lovely card as always, like the colour.Thanks for replying to my e-mail ,very helpful.

Hi, Christine! Just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog today and commenting :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card - beautiful details! And speaking of lovely...those dresses and hats! WOW!!
Great inspiration today :) xo
Oh to live in that era and dress like that everyday! Not totally practical though I suppose!
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white card, I sometimes think that colour way makes the nicest cards.
Hugs
