Welcome
In the small swap group I belong to the theme last month was to use lace..
I love lace, and have made some, so I really enjoyed this challenge.
Warning photo heavy post, so I won't bore you with many details

This finished card with some gold Nuvo drops - they still don't cooperate for me!

A detail of the lace I chose, and a gold embossed sentiment from a magazine freebie

A stencil I made with the lace - the ink I used is lawn Fawn Forget Me Not blue

I stencilled swags of lace down the feature panel before adding the stamped, pencil coloured and fussy cut tulip from Stamp Simply, and also added a wee tie of nylon lace around the stem

I then stencilled the insert, and the envelope to match

Your stencilled lace looks exquisite! A beautiful elegant card. Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts.
Fabulous card Maxine, love so much how you used the lace as stencil for the background, it has a wonderful soft feel! Love blue and brown, I find this palette so elegant and feminine, and the pink tulip pops so well!
Beautiful!! I love all the lace on here Maxine and the card is sensation and so pretty. Nuvo's don't like me either. Yours look just fine here.

A fabulous card Maxine. I love how you stencilled the lace (ending up with some more lace to use on another project of course) and then used the same lace to trim. Very clever. CarolG

The lace definitely caught my eye here, a medium I adore working with, how fabulous that you have learnt to make it. Really love the stencilled detail on your card, the composition is very pretty.
