Kate, a wonderful American friend of mine, had a little New Year splurge at Moth&Magpie, my Etsy shop, and she has kindly let me share our little collaboration. We decided to brainstorm using a blog, www.paperforkate.blogspot.com if you fancy seeing the design process!
Kate wanted a Pride and Prejudice theme, plus a vintage tea party vibe, with little purple highlights. In the end it sort of all blurred together!
Here are the finished papers....
 |
'My dear Miss Bennett,
you must allow me to tell you
how ardently I admire and love you' |
 |
Vintage crochet, purple suede
and freshwater pearls... |
 |
The vintage tea party pages,
back-lit so the designs on both sides can be seen |
 |
| Classical cameos |
 |
| Mr Darcy's hat |
 |
| Butterflies from victorian french love letters |
 |
| The personal touch |
 |
| Hand cut birds |
 |
| More tea, Mr Collins? |
 |
Flowers, bows, butterflies,
pearls, lace and gems...
|
 |
| Purple prettiness |
 |
| A personalised greeting |
 |
A cake is a cake,
but a cake on a cakestand...well! |
 |
| Yours Sincerely |
Beyond excited!
ReplyDeleteNow....to come up with worthy prose....
You could get away with anything as long as your writing is pretty! Its all about the pen, in my opinion.
