YAY!! I was in my absolute element with this one! (Thanks Kylie!)
I love vintage and shabby chic so here is my card which I hope inspires you to join us in this challenge!
The sepia photograph is a vintage cabinet card. I think she is just lovely! I framed her with a cream pearlised frame cut with a nestie.
The backing papers are from the 5th Avenue pad by Melissa Frances.
I added two different types of vintage lace across the centre and some cream seam binding.
The pearl and gold heart is a button and I stitched it onto the the centre of the shabby bow.
Added some pearl pins and some die cut flourishes and finished with a tag which was stamped onto a scrap of the same paper with two stamps from my stash. The tassel was an afterthought but I think it fits quite nicely!
Papers were carried through on the inside to give a full vintagey look!

Oh Viv, this one's out of the park fabulous! I love that shade of aqua which marries so well with all the creams. Also love the two patterned papers. You're right - the tassel was PERFECT. Even your staging is exceptional and sets the card off to perfection. Thanks for the suggestion to go over to CC's challenge - I shall head there now! And thank you for the inspiration to do a card with a lot of cream and white plus one other color. Beautiful!
