As soon as I saw this image over at Julia Spiri, I grabbed it and made this card! It's actually called "The Victorian Hat" hence my post title today. Naturally, I had to do a vintage card. I'm going to use it for a birthday card because my stash is very low on birthday cards but I'm going to put the sentiment inside, along with a handwritten, personal note, and use this for my daughter's birthday card.
I colored with ProMarkers, use a die from one of my Spellbinders sets to cut it out, and then cut a large oval for the mat (QuicKutz). I added pearls, dried flowers, a die cut butterfly (2 layers) and used ribbon to make a double-color, double-loop bow. Too bad it looks so pink in the photo. It's really pale lilac.

My first thought was - oh, look, Sunbonnet Sue! Then I realized this is much more elegant than Miss Sue.
