Welcome
I love how this card turned out - I wanted to use some wide, broiderie anlgaise lace I had been given.
I started with a card base that was wider than my usual, and made a tent fold. The piece of lace was adhered down both sides, ensuring that the pattern matched on both sides.
I then chose a snippet of light green paper from a Kaisercraft 6x6 Botanica pad, that was sitting in my off-cuts basket.
I then randomly stamped butterflies (an old Hero Arts Stamp) in Memento Cantaloupe ink on another snippet of cream card, over stamped that with the Scripture from the ODBD Grace's Strength stamp set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink, and then cut and embossed it using a S/B labels 14 die.
To add to the lace on the card I used this tiny Irish Crochet lace doily that I was given in a bundle of 'stuff you may be able to use' from an estate. I added a white flat back pearl to the centre of it.
The sentiment was stamped using a bottle green ink on cream card stock - I rounded the corners and sponged the edges with the same ink, and finished the panel with a string of white seed sized pearls..
The inside was finished with a strip of narrow lace.

Great creation, Maxine! I love the crochet flower, lace on the background and the awesome Word of God. We're so blessed that you joined us with your wonderful art last Challenge. We would like to invite you to link with us again in our current Challenge at Word Art Wednesday.

When you weould say what you used I would replay: that isn't going to be a great combi..., but now I see your card it works so well!Hugs, Gerrina
The lace is such a good idea and looks fabulous. What a beautiful card and senitment too x
Love that you used this beautiful lace to make such a lovely card. And splendid work on matching the scallops on each side too! I especially love the sentiment you've chosen, and how cool that you were able to use the estate stash to get the perfect crochet lace flower to embellish this special card. Did you use the double sided tape to adhere the lace? Also like the botanical center border, the touch of spring green color makes the white lace gleam. TFS & Hugs
This is exquisite, Maxine! It's not a card, it's a gift all in itself! I'm in awe!! Hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous Maxine, loving the layering on that verse background too.. lots of work goes into a simple card!
