There is a fairly straightforward challenge at Simply Stampin this week - they just want to see some lace and I've gone for some die-cut lace on this card. Background papers are from SU everyday enchantment set and the stamp is from their Nature Walk set. Nestabilities dies were used for the layers with some embossing and the flowers and swirls are made from Marianne dies which I've not taken out of the box for a very long time so this card also qualifies for Judith's Forgotten Friday challenge and I've just about made it in time this week.. It goes to show that it pays to have a sort out and tidy up now and again even if it is just to remind myself just what lovely goodies are lurking unused in various storage boxes!!
I really like the central image on this card. I have a fondness for birdcages and birds. I love the lacy effect on the flower, and the lace border is another favourite. Thanks for joining in my Forgotten Friday post Val, any time of the week is fine.

nice one Val - love the lacy flowers, and I never thought of using an embossing folder!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've picked out the colours of the paper for your various elements. Those flowers with the aqua & gem centres 'pop' beautifully.
