Wow. Lovely. I think you have a beautiful knack for finding imagery that works together so very well.

Are you a professional designer of any sort?

You just sort of have an eye for it.

Luxurious. Enjoying the copper and how you used the cage.

The cage is actuially as tranfer from a drawing of a vintage dressmaker's dummy!

Copper tape was another unexpected find - it's what stained glass artists use around cut pieces of glass before soldering. It's got a sticky side so is perfect for edging cards.

Not remotely professional ... my background is actually as a Professor of English (lapsed somewhat now, and in a different-ish job, but still at a university).

A transfer, of course...and clever! Going to check out the copper tape.
