Wouldn't it be fun to be able to wear the beautiful bonnets and dresses of Yesteryear. Well all except for the corsets. LOL This is a canvas I did.
I flipped it over and worked on the backside.
Using another New Release from Oxford Impressions
Regency Fashion plate.
I thought how fun to include embellishments that a hat maker might use.
Vintage feathers and flowers and even some netting were a must for the well dressed woman of the day.
I colored the images using Watercolor markers technique from Technique Junkies.
Background paper from Graphics 45.
Its my entry

Love this! Laura
I love it Lynn! So sweet, and yes, I would love to wear bonnets again! They are so feminine and great statements. Hugs, Riki
Great idea working on the back of the canvas in fact you got me thinking this would make a great shrine mmmmm! Love love the canvas and all the embellishments and buttons. Wonderful take on the colour challenge. Tracy Evans x
Pretty bonnets would be lovely but I agree...no corsets LOL
Beautiful piece of work.

Do you sometimes think that you were born in the wrong time and on the wrong continent? LOL The period so suits your style XOXO Zoe
This is gorgeous, but I am not so sure about the bonnets - I think they would not look so good on me!
This is really nice and I love the embellishments you have chosen!
OH Lynn! What a beautiful card - absolutely LOVE this card! You are so so creative!
lovely picture Lynn,so pretty with the added bits, I think I need a corset to hold all my love handles in, either that or I need to give up the chocolates
The canvas is gorgeous...and the embellishments are perfection!
(Love the stamps, but just know I wouldn't be able to pull off a bonnet:)
Whew, if yesteryear's clothes and bonnets were as awesome as this creation ... I'd be happy to wear them (though I agree the corset would be miserable).
i love how you used the other side of the canvas ... that was brilliant ... and oh yes, i wish i could get dressed up in the style of that day ... especially the bonnets!
Oh, Lynn what can I say but WOW!!!
Your pieces are always sooo beautiful and these are just wonderful eye candy:-) You are sooooo talented!!
Gorgeous, very vintage, love the use of the back of the canvas
So very lovely. Really like the depth and dimension you created. Beautiful color and images.
A fantastic canvas and great new images by Oxford Impressions.
oh wow I just adore this,could easily sit and admire this all day,brilliant hugs cheryl xxxxxx
Its gorgeous Lynn and thank you for the tip about using the other side of the canvas. But no I wouldn't want to wear bonnets or those dresses, too much effort...lol Annette x
Very neat. A bonnet would be perfect for me right now since I am trying to grow out my hair from a short angled bob cut. Hope you have a very Happy Valentines Day!
Hugs, Kim
Very very nice Lynn :)
Hi Lynn,
So very pretty! I love Oxford Press stamps, but I had to stop buying them as it seems I was collecting them and not using them.....LOL Thank God for prolific crafters like you who make good use of them.
I know you don't live out here, but if you wouldn't mind posting a button for my bloggers luncheon, I would appreciate it. You can find it on my current post.
Have a great Valentine's Day!
Hugs,
Meri
Truly gorgeous piece, Lynn..just love it!
Gorgeous card! Love the Vintage image and all the beautiful details especially the buttons!
Wow- what a cool piece of art- I love all of the embellishments too. i think it would be fun to wear the long dresses and all- but....they had no air conditioning in those days.......Yuck!
Lynn, Your canvas is just Beautiful!! I love how you used the back side. I'm following you now, I saw your post on ATT. Shari (cricutrookie)

This is so Cute my friend. What a wonderful creation!!
I do hope you have a happy Valentines day!!
Hugs, Linda
This is charming--you are so right, by the way;
bonnets and pretty skirts, yes.
Corsets--NOT happening!
:)
Great idea, flipping your canvas around. The shadowbox look, look's great! Love all the details! Wonderful!
What a beautiful card, i love it
Beautiful. The touch of buttons is perfect.
Oh lynn it is so beautiful! Love all the accents too esp. the feather. Tracey
This is fabulous, Lynn! For sure no corsets, but I think I would just be too fussy with that much gear on!!! But to get dressed up like that for an hour and have a photo taken, too cool! Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day GF! Hugs!
amazing work, Lynn! I am so loving your boxes of late. And now off to OI for a look at those new stamps.
As a side note, I still have my hats I've worn through the years, it is fun to take them out every now and then...
This is a GoRGeOus!! canvas :)
lovely vintage lace pieces..I must say I am really impressed by your antler carving..superb
What a neat interpretation of this week's inspiration at the Play Date Cafe. Love how it is 3D.
Wow, incredibly beautiful! I looooove all the dressmaker's details (and the little label, too!), and the gorgeous coloring and collage work!
