Pearls and Lace

Great to see you again! Today I have a card to share with you that I've created for the challenge over at Card Crafter's Circle! It's all about pearls and lace.  I have used this image by Di's Digi Downloads and I just love her because she is girly yet has a touch of tomboyishness about her.  That's me! As I get older and my girls love these feminine things, I am discovering that I to enjoy them.  My oldest is turning 13 in a few days and I asked what she wanted  and she said for me to take her shopping!!! I remember the times when she groaned at the thought and now, well lets just say she's growing up! Sigh.
For this card I've used some wonderful textured paper that I found at the Dollar Store.  It's a wonderful light butter colour! The pink patterned paper is from Magenta and the green paper is from K & Company.  I used crochet lace from Stampin' Up and the pearls are from Recollections and Mark Richards.  I added some flowers from my collection and then decided to add a green touch.  I don't have any greenery so I just twisted the left over stems around my pencil and voila!  There is a hidden sentiment on the left.  I punched the side with my Fiscars oval punch and then added the sentiment to it.

We would love how you use lace and pearls, it doesn't have to be a card.  Hop on over to Card Crafter's Circle so see some great inspiration! We are being sponsored by the wonderful Di's Digi Downloads and the winner will receive $10 to spend in her store!
