I printed out a Mucha image and sentiment and a backing paper from Joanna Sheen's The Age of Elegance CD and cut the image to fit the die cut lacy oval. I distressed the edges of the background paper and then added a doyley, lace, loops of beaded pearl stuff, flowers, pearls and a ribbon. And the wooden bird and frame - the frame is actually a patterned one but I used the reverse which is natural wood - painted with Starlights Metallic Paint. I don't think the gorgeous sheeny sparkle really shows in the photo, though!

It's gorgeous. The colors of the elements coordinate so well with those of the paper. Fab design!
Gorgeous card, I love your way of describing the card as everything but the kitchen sink, well I can't see the kitchen sink but I see a beautiful image and a lovely layout.

This creation is fabulous Jane. I love how the swirls of pearl co ordinate a so well with the background paper. The image is very pretty too. Thank you for showcasing your card with us at CD Sunday. Wynn DT

A charming card - very different. Joanna does some great CDs. I like how you've used the back of the frame to make it fit in. Everything fits together so well. Thanks for joining in with the challenge.

Beautiful! I think having so many elements really works with the opulence of the image and background. I love the combination of that deep orange color with the white lace and flowers and pearls! Thanks for joining in my August challenge at LunagirlMoonbeams.com ~ Karen
A great card Jane and I think the Kitchen sink might have spoilt it. What you have used looks fab. Thank you for sharing this with us.
