Victorian Furniture Clip Art Set 3Completed by Taina Kankare

Miscellaneous/Other / Miscellaneous

I opened one file from the Victorian Furniture Clip Art Set 3 into my photo editor. I modified the picture by moving the furniture a bit farther from the wall. This, of course, resulted an ugly hole in the picture. First I thought I'd add some pillows to hide the hole. But then I decided to make patches into the wall, curtain, flower pot, flowers, window sill etc.

Next I started to find a suitable floor. I searched for Victorian floors and found this colorful tile floor. I modified it and added it into my file. After this I searched for Victorian wallpapers. I found some, but the patterns were too big to my taste. But then I found a fabric pattern which pleased me, so I added it to cover the window wall.

Then I added a frame. I also found a vintage couple to add in the middle of the scene. At that point I decided that this was going to be a wedding anniversary congratulation card. With that in view, I added a box of roses on the divan. Next I added a tray with champagne bottle in a cooler and two glasses of champagne on top of the chair on the right side. I also added two white doves with roses into the drapes above the couple.

I wrote my congratulations in Finnish. "Hyvää hääpäivää" means Happy Anniversary in English. I added the text on white background and surrounded it with a vintage style frame. As a finishing touch I added a small rose below the text. I tried to add some bigger vintage roses to decorate the card, but I was not happy with the result. So I left them out. I saved the file and printed the sheet. I cut the topper out and attached it on a white base card leaving a white border.

I decorated the card with gold colored heart ribbon and vintage style faux gem stickers.
