Did you have a good weekend? We spent some time outside Saturday soaking up that good Vitamin D from the sun! Then Benjamin and I went shopping for a Matchbox car that he'd been hinting about for ever-so-long; that didn't leave a lot of time for card-making, but it made for a good family weekend anyway.
I've had this thank you card started for quite a while, but when I saw the Caardvarks Lacy Days challenge, I knew I could easily finish it up with some lace and play along. I started with the JustRite Joyful Hearts Borders and Centers set, along with the small oval wooden stamper. I stamped the image twice so that I could have a two-layered focal image. Then I used a Spellbinders Classic Oval die to cut the outer border of both images, and the inner border of the frame part of the top image. It looked a little too creamy at this point, so I pulled out my Copic Airbrush System and a YG63 marker to airbrush the inner circle before attaching the top layer with foam tape.
I chose papers from a K&Company Madeline pad for my background and used a Spellbinders Big Scalloped Petites Border Die to cut the two layers of patterned paper as well as the cream card base. The lace is some that I found in a ribbon drawer here; I think it may be a Prima cotton lace. Ribbon is Creative Impressions silk ribbon, and the Raspberry Velvet Zig Zag ribbon is from Sharon Johnson' Stamp Simply store.
Well, that's it for another day; thanks for visiting!
