Welcome
This card was based on this video by Natasha Foote, using white scraps ...

The texture was several layers of an old Spellbinders lace and edge die - there were two dies, which proved challenging at times... it was not a quick card to make because of that.
There are three layers in each 'strip' of lace

The poppy image, from Sweet'n'Sassy is the largest flower in the Precious Poppies set, simply embossed in gold and fussy cut, and mounted over an oval, coloured with Delicata Golden Glitz ink.

The sentiment, from the Hero Arts set Hello There, was also gold embossed, and a few gold sequins finished the card front

The inside liner was brushed with the golden glitz ink around the sides, and a narrow strip of gold washi was added

The envelope was also decorated with the same Washi tape

The strips were all snippets
White and gold always look so elegant and I love how you used the lacy borders.

Those look great! I'm hoping my church ladies will have another card making class sometime. Our next class is going to be watercolor painting. I hope to embrace my inner Bob Ross though he was an oil painter.

Wow, what a fabulous effect - I must check out this technique when I have time. I love the poppy, the way you have mounted it over the oval piece of gold looks so effective. I always like white on white cards, not easy to achieve as there are so many shades of white which I always find strange.

How beautiful in its' simplicity. Awesome job with your embossing! Smiles, Kathy
