black lace layout

My blog is a little early, but I am up to my ears in work at the moment and wanted to get it out of the way. This layout shows how you can use plain cardstock and make your own pattern, with a piece of lace curtain and black spritz. Sometimes I mix my own, if I dont want sparkle and glimmer in it(hard to believe i know). I saw a dress in a shop with pale pink and a black lace overlay and this inspired me with this layout. The combo works well together and just right for vintage pages. These two girls are relatives, but I dont know just where they fit in the family as it is so long back lol I have made some flowers using rose creations to cut out mulberry paper and pink organza.(the organza takes a bit of effort to cut out, but is worth it in the end) I then heat the organza with heat gun to scrunch up the petals. Also I have cut some pink velvet into circles, and carefully edged them with white dimensional paint and sprinkled white glitter over them, add a nice center and this makes a lovely simple flower, too I have added a piece of Dusty Attic chip as a vine and the new antique frame from spellbinders(this is embossed in gold) hope you are inspired!!
