Flower Card

I created this pretty card this morning for our partner, Christina Hickman, in the 2016 Bead Peeps Swap N Hop.  This is an exciting bead swap for Dry Gulch Beads and I needed a pretty card to include with the beads we sent. I embossed an antique brass filigree and layered it over the foiled background.  The leaves are French seed beaded leaves that I created.  The gilded bird is a vintage German Dresden piece - these are very hard to find.  The lace is vintage, of course.
