Reflections...

The Shabby Tea Room Week #22: "Reflections"  This week's challenge is to create a card or project using the photo below for inspiration.





Here is my interpretation...

An inside view...

I created the mirrored "chandelier" using silver metallic paper, which was cut with oval nesties. The black swirled backing of the "chandelier" was cut using shapabilities fancy tags. See the chain from which the "chandelier" is hanging? I used an old earring! (I just knew that broken piece would be of use someday!) 

Other materials used for this creation:
Stamps: Canteria by Prima
Ink: Vintage Photo (Ranger Distress Ink)
Paper: Lullaby Lane & Life's Portait (Webster's Pages), Black and White Cardstock.
Tools: Scallop Oval and Oval Nesties, Fancy Tags Shapabilities (Spellbinders)
Embellishments: ZVA Pearls in Pewter, White Satin Ribbon, Floral findings, Hat pin & beads, Mini Roses & Gardenias, Crochet Lace.

I have also entered this card in
Sentimental Sundays Challenge #15 - "Anything Goes"
Cupcake Craft Challenge #103 - "Lace"

    OH! lala! Annette it's amazing!Your interpretation is absolutely awesome. The colors give such a classy and chic look, and reproduce exactly the ambiance given by the picture. The bouquet of flowers is marvelous, colors are rich and warm.The paper is soooo lovely, imitating tapestry, and the lace on top is such an appropriate embellishement.And what about the chandelier: such an original idea, and an artistic piece of work: it's a beauty!I love everything about it, it brings me to rêverie and romance.... WOW WOW
    Hugs.

    Wow! Beautiful card and a perfect take on our challenge this week at the Tea Room. I love your mirrored chandelier and how clever to use a broken bit of earring for the hanger. LOVE that bouquet of flowers and I adore the Webster's paper that you used. Thanks for playing along with us at TSTR.
