A Card Inspired by The Lady Edith

I love Downton Abbey for many reasons, but one of the biggest is the time period. I looooove the clothing of the Edwardian period, so that first season had me slobbering like a dog over a bone! So why not use these gorgeous dresses as card inspiration?

Check it out: 

I love the simple yet beautiful embroidery that embellishes the Lady Edith's bodice, so I started looking through my stash for something comparable. Here's my take:

I N S T R U C T I O N S

1. Create card base.
2. Adhere panel of patterned paper.
3. Die cut and adhere chains and floral border.
4. Generate sentiment on computer, print and cut into banner.
5. Score banner and adhere.
6. Adhere gems.

T I P S

Use a fine point glue "pen" on delicate die-cuts such as these.

If you don't have a specific sentiment in your stash, type the words you want into a word program on your computer, print, and cut to suit.
