Today we start a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown and our theme is to "Use Lace." Our wonderful sponsor is The Ribbon Resource and they were so generous in providing lace to our DT members for use on our inspiration cards. They will be providing the prize for this challenge as well.
Isn't that pink lace gorgeous? The image is by Anne Fenton and I've had it in my collection for a while. It seemed time to use it. Since I'm getting my stash of birthday cards and Mother's Day cards stocked up, I decided on a color combo of kraft, pink and white.
I colored with ProMarkers, stamped the sentiment, then matted the image with dark pink CS. Because I wanted the lace to really pop, I layered it across white CS because it showed better than against the kraft CS, and then I added the two rows of pearls. The butterfly is die cut from burlap paper and I added two pearls for the body. Even with those embellishments, the card design is still very CAS, showcasing the image and the lace.
