I love Victorian cards (actually Victorian anything). It really pulls at my soul. I wish sometimes I had been there to experience more of it. I will say that I value my freedom now though. It was a hard life and women had it hard back then.
I've tried to choose more Victorian type colors when I make these cards. The one below started off with a muted brown, an ornate dark/light brown pattern paper and finally a pink frame.
I used black photo corners that I gilded with gold foil. I also used Liquid Pearls on the frame in white pearl.
I love the way that the flowers in the center are gathered up with an organza bow, topped with a brass heart charm embossed with a rose.
Close Up!
Don't you just love the added touch of this little brass heart charm? I love to add charms to my work. I like to hang them and listen to them tinkle when they hit each other. This tiny little charm came from http://www.fancifuls.com/
Here you can see the work I did on the pink frame. I used Bazzill.
I hope this gives you inspiration!
