Another card for my stash!! I found this short piece of lace mixed in with my seam binding and set it aside because it perfectly matched the cardstock I had used for this card. I dug through my background stash and found this watercolour/plastic wrap one that had the perfect colour combination to coordinate with the lace. I trimmed it to size, added the lace adhering both ends to the back of the back ground paper with double sided tape. I perused my silk flowers and found a large white one and a small lavender one which worked perfectly so I layered them and added them to this layer using a small yellow brad. I adhered this whole layer to the lavender card front which I had set aside. I punched a purple label and added a little laser printed greeting punchie (SU) and adhered it to the front o my card with 3D foam tape.

Lacy wedding card
Made a wedding card for my stash!! The image looks wonky now that I look at it a little closer!! It really is nice and square!
I started with a kraft card front and using double sided tape I added to pieces of lace that almost met in the middle. I used double sided tape to adhere the ends inside the card as well. I punched a strip of kraft cardstock with the eyelet punch (SU) and sponged the edges a bit with brown ink. I trimmed the strip the width of the card, added a length of white satin ribbon adhering the ends to the back with double sided tape. I mounted this piece over the gap in between the two pieces of lace. I die cut the embossed heart (SU) from shimmery cardstock and sponged the edges a bit with brown ink. I stitched on some white floss and tied a little bow to give it some texture. I adhered it to my card front using 3D foam tape. I layered a little greeting (Modern Label and Word Window) from some punchies and tied it to one of the holes in the border using the same floss I made the bow with. Really happy with how this worked out!!

Laser toner resist note card - quick and easy!
I have a few quarter sheet images on hand from my last experiment with laser toner resist cards. I needed a quick thank you card yesterday so I dug this one out and added watercolour with a brush, dried it quick with the heat gun, trimmed it down and adhered it to the front of of a black card! Done!! Quick and easy!! This image is from CLKER!
