The Shabby Tea Room Challenge

It's a beautiful sunny day here ... even though it is cold I am grateful for the sunshine ... and I have a card I made for this weeks challenge at  The Shabby Tea Room  "Classical Elegance" being the theme and the colours are Red, White (or Cream ) and Black here's the inspirational photograph ...



It's been ages since I had the time to enter a card at The Shabby Tea Room ... one of my favourite blogs ... and I've missed being there ... 
I had so many ideas going around in my head for this challenge but finally I came up with this ...



I had to photograph this on the red background  as I was losing the champagne coloured tulle and the card just didn't look right against the white I usually use ...
The papers are all SU (Love Letter) ... everything else is from my stash ...


And that cute image? ... that's from a little card I had ...

Have a lovely day ...

Till soon
