For our last card we made these fairly quick cards. We started by adding a strip of silver foil to our decorative paper securing the ends to the back with double sided tape. Next, we overlaid it with a length of lace which we secure in the same manner. This large layer was then adhered to the front of a coordinating card. We coloured our images and embellished our edges with decorative scissors or by tearing. I tore the edges on both of mine and added a bit of green chalk on my torn edge which echoed the center of the poinsettias. I added clear glitter with a gel pen to my dove which appears very glittery in real life and a little more mottled in the photo above. I really liked how the subtle silver behind the lace echoed the silver embossing on the stamped images.
It was a most enjoyable evening and they have a few special cards to send this Christmas season!!
