Welcome back to another week at Soartful.
I have another Victorian theme for your this week.
Victorian Amusements
I love these beautiful Carousel horses.
I found this beauty at
The word carousel comes from the Italian word carosello (meaning "little war"). Carosello was a 12th-century game played by the Arabs and Turks, on horseback, using scented balls tossed from one to another. Anyone missing a catch was readily identified by the perfume they were doused with when the scented ball broke on impact.
You may use this image in your 'Victorian Amusement' piece but it
isn't necessary.
I loved all of the submissions for Victorian Romance.
I didn't want you to miss out on Sarah's tip.
See the beautiful gold doily. Sarah altered a plain white paper doily
by rubbing with gold ink and heat embossing. A wonderful solution
for when a gold doily is just what you need but don't have on hand.
Thanks for joining me at Soartful this week.

Thank you, Jeanette, for this gorgeous image..it is exactly what I've been searching for -- it will be for a very special friend. You never disappoint.
...or silver, or copper...
Oh a lovely copper doily work well so with a Steampunk Theme.
The heat embossing also stiffens it up a lot, it's easier to cut & shape without tearing.
Glad to be of help! :O)
Since I combined this challenge with Simply Less is Moore challenge, my Victorian amusement card is pretty plain.
