I have been reading one of my favourite books "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen - Looove that book and that might explain why I have both the BBC tv-series and the 2005 remake on DVD.
Inspiration to my cards comes from a lot of places - this time is no exception. Remembered seing a feebie digi-stamp on A Day for the Daisies blog including a challenge, where we are to use stitches in our card as well as one of their stamps.
Lace and/or doily was required from the CCCE stamper's challenge and finally the sketch I chose to follow is from Just Us Girls, as it was perfect from my idea.
Just realised that the blue in the sketch may have prompted/inspired me to use blue color tones in the card - pastel red was out of the question as I can only remember seing colors tones like blue, black, white, grey and green wheen seeing Jane Austen inspired pictures, but hey maybe I am wrong in that perception. Anyway, here's my Jane Austen inspired card:
The text used is actually from the Jane Austen book "Sense and Sensibility" - I realised a while back, that I had two identical paperback copies of the book and decided that one of them was to be used in my cardmaking.
