Inspired by The Paradise

I've been enthralled with the PBS Masterpiece series "The Paradise", and especially with the beginning photo credits before each episode.  They used beautiful jewel toned laces and other lush materials.

I'm sorry to see it ended, but if you haven't seen it, you can watch the 7 episodes online at the link above.  Loved the story-line, loved the costumes, loved the characters!  Now that it's over I thought I'd make a card to commemorate it.

I started by stamping and clear embossing the Hero Arts Lace Background on a panel of Pool layering paper, then sponging on Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean distress inks.  That panel was affixed to a teal card base.  The result also reminds me of the lovely gown that Denise wears in the later episodes.  Then I die-cut some Leanna butterflies from royal blue foil paper and stamped a sentiment from The Craft's Meow Dream Catcher on a scrap of the same Pool paper using Memento Luxe Danube Blue ink and added them along with some sequins that Heather gave me when I visited her in Ireland.  

Thanks for visiting me today!
