High Hopes Challenge 16- Lace!

Good day everyone! This week's high hopes challenge is to use lace on your card and is brought to us by the super duper talented Ila. Well, believe it or not I have never used lace on a card so this was a great push too.



I colored my Bethany angel with prismapencils and blended them with gamsol. I used stickles on her wings and shimmerz on the hearts on her purse, pants and the prima flowers. The angel was cut out and attached to the oval which is sponged with pop dots. I actually started this card a couple weeks ago for the SCS challenge to dress up your dp and did not have time to finish it. On the dp strip, I embossed the heart flowers and on the bg dp I added stickles to the center of the flowers. This is my current favorite patterned paper right now and it is called Sugared from Basic Grey. This and lots of other awesome paper is available at Sweet N Sassy stamps. Now, where can you get the lace that I used on my side strip?? LOL- I actually cut the trim from one of my oldest dd's slips that was too small. I did not have any lace in my stash and could not get around to go buy some with my injured ankle so I improvised. Now, my friend Sue did go and get some lace trim for me which I did not use yet because this one looked better. She is such a sweetie and I promise that the lace she got for me will appear on a future card. Thanks Sue, you're an angel!!! Maybe she will have to get this card then huh?
