Lacé card

Hi!

Having  made a couple of cards with my Spellbinders Diamond Strips and Accents I thought I would re-visit my lacé dies and see just how easy, or otherwise, it was. It's a few years since I used them. Oh my goodness, what a kerfuffle! (Is that a word?) I chose a lovely double sided pearlescent cardstock in contrasting shades of  pink. The card is so nice that I proceeded with great caution because I didn't want to ruin it. Well as you can see, I didn't ruin it, but because I was being so careful it took me ages! Now compare that to the speed of whizzing a die through the Grand Calibur - no comparison!!!  I think I have proved the point to myself and will be giving the real lacé a miss in future!

Having taken so long with the cut work I decided to make it very simple, although it is only now that I have uploaded the picture I realise it is a bit wonky. Fortunately it is only attached with a glue dot so it can be easily remedied. I used florist's tape (courtesy of my sister) to bind the cala lilies together.  I decide to  use the pale pink as the outside but the deeper colour is really lovely so perhaps I will use the Spellbinders and make another card in the opposite way.

Well that's all for now. Have a  good day.
