Hood or betrothed? “You don’t have the look of a young lady hunting for a husband.” A winter ball. Polite smiles. Sharp words hidden behind good manners. She stands aside in red — observing, not waiting. He assumes every woman here is either a promise... or a prize. He talks of duty, fortune, marriage as a transaction. Complains about courting an eccentric woman who dares to write. Until he realizes. She is that woman. Not a prize. Not a deal. Not interested in being chosen. A red dress. A sharp mind. And a reputation she refuses to apologize for. Jane Austen–inspired ✨ Created for the “Green & Red” spread — where green 🟢 and red 🚩 are also modern-day flags. No butterflies this time... but plenty of glitter and holographic stickers for my dear @ijathatsme who invited me to do a Green and Red spread💚♥️ Because there’s never too much glitter ✨ I would like to invite my following talented friends to join this challenge (if they want to of course): @victoriab.e @echoesoffae8 @journalsbyladys @scrapbooksweden @autisticaussie @maryseg1976 @kanade.journal List of supplies in the comment section below 👇 #janeausteninspired #janeausten #storytellingart #collageart #artjournal #journaling #creativejournaling #redandgreen #regency #slowart #papercraft #journalingcommunity #vintagevibes #christmas #christmasvibes #festiveseason #christmasball #arttherapy #romance #prideandprejudice
