This week's CPS Sketch was a fun stretch for me! I have always adored romantic cards that use vintage laces, trims, and flowers. But I am challenged to know what to do with them! I look at them. . . and look at them. . . and they look back. . . (You can tell that this doesn't go anywhere in a hurry.)
This week's CPS Sketch 55 had the Embellishment Studio as a sponsor, however, so I had some built-in motivation to USE that lovely lace! If you have time to play along, we'd love to see what you come up with. Just post a link to your creation here. By the way, if you are bow-tying-challenged, here's a great step-by-step tutorial for you, created by bow-tie-er-extraodinaire Melissa Phillips. (You've seen her gorgeous bows in magazines. :-D)
