Wedding card featuring handmade rose petal paper, lace & ribbon and little hearts

I have been back to cardmaking this week.  This is a wedding card that includes rose petal handmade paper which I made quite a while ago.  I added a layer of off white lace which worked really well with the soft white of the handmade paper.  I trimmed the lace to the same width as the paper and added two little gold brads at the top then added it to a burgundy card.  I added glue stick to the lower area of the handmade paper  and gently placed the lace into it.  It worked very well for keeping it stable and does not show through.  I trimmed a short piece of off white organza ribbon and tied the burgundy organza ribbon to it in the middle with a single knot.  I tied a short length of gold cording to the middle of it with a single knot as well.  I used a glue dot to adhere it to my card front.  I trimmed the two little hearts and painted them with shimmery paint.  Once they were dry I adhered them to the cording with double sided tape and then used more double sided tape to adhered the cording to the handmade paper.  Love the way it turned out!!  Therese
