"Veiled" Solitaire

August 4th 2011
Here is my new card I have made for the new challenge at the Soartful Challenge Blog which features this amazing picture - Gloria Swanson shot by Edward Steichen - as inspiration:


As you can see I have used the Solitaire Lace & Jewels image from CS Designs as I thought the veiled lace matched perfectly with this theme and once I printed it on the gorgeous lace pattern metallic paper I knew it was just right!!!


The CS Designs sentiment is also a perfect match for the image and theme of the card!


I've layered the paper with mounting tape to give a dimensional look and have added some old lave to the outside of the card. All the card and paper has a beautiful metallic "sheen" to it so it looks quite classy. To finish off I've added some pewter pearls.


I really love this and hope you do too!!!

    I love the mystique to your piece and your point of reference, always love the drama of old style Hollywood images.
    I agree with a previous comment, they would look amazing as a series on canvas or in frames.
    Your work is so exciting.

    How beautiful, Sharon! This is so in the spirit of the challenge. Most of us avoided that veil thing. Great job!
