Handmade cards Ireland

A few vintage lady cards I made recently

Lilac and lace

I Decoupaged the lady and embellished her hat 

with lace and flowers

the lace on the card is a lace collar 

Pink and Cream 

I use beautiful embossed paper for this card

the image is double raised with foam pad between the layers

I use guipure lace leaves and silk flowers to decorate the side.

Cream and Gold

The image is so beautiful I kept it simple.

added some cream feathers, and a lace butterfly

with tiny buttons down the body

A strip of cream guipure lace at the bottom 

with a strip of pearl trim on top

Peach and Cream

I did a band of cream satin ribbon in each corner and 

overlayed a piece of wide cream guipure lace, 

and finished with Pearl trim.

And added a floral arrangement of silk and mulberry roses.

Red and Blue

Beautiful image with a band of guipure lace at the bottom, 

and 3 large roses

I made a feather fan, finished with a silver bead cap end

 (you can't see it in the photo)

Added a small bouquet and a small pearl and gem brooch.
