Roses and Lace

Here is a 6"x6" card, made with the "Coffee In The Arbour" collection, by Maja Design. I am totally in love with their June mood board, and am delighted that I could get the project ready in time for submission.

The lace has been hand cut from Vintage Summer Basics:1899-bs, using Tim Holtz: Lace stencil, (if you are following me on instagram, you must have seen the progress posted :P) It wasn't an easy task, but the results were amazing. I added some details to the hand cut lace, just to make it look a little more delicate.

For the gathers, I've used Grandma's Old Porcelain. The gathers are held up with roses, strung together with a chain. The Eiffel Tower charm, added as a symbol of love.

Added some texture to the top using the same lace stencil, and embellished it with butterflies and pearls. The butterflies were hand cut from Butterflies are Free.

For the base visible through the lace, I've used Surfs Up, which I toned down with Picket Fence paint. An inked up piece of 1899 was added to the bottom corner, with "Congratulations" heat embossed in white.

And that's about it! All the card stock used in this card was received from Artful Crafting as part as my June Kit. All items have been linked, and you can shop them from the webstore, if you please.
