Creating with lace or doilies is hot right now. At Cuttlebug Challenge blog we watch the trends and plan our challenges accordingly. This week we want you to create a card, scrapbook page, or project (home decor, gift, etc.) using lace...don't forget to use a Provo Craft item (Cuttlebug die, embossing folder, or cricut) somewhere on your creation. Link your project to Be Inspired #91 at Cuttlebug Challenge blog.I used two Cuttlebug items for my card:
Flowers dies (red patterned paper and green Bazzill card stock)
Frills embossing border
I wanted to use eyelet lace for my card because it reminds me of being a little girl. I had eyelet lace on a dress my mother made for me to wear on the first day of elementary school, the trim she put on smocked pillows she made for my bed, and the trim she put on a checkered blanket to coordinate with the pillows.
I chose Daisy D's papers to go with my eyelet lace. I toyed with my sketch, and decided I wanted to hand stitch a border with white DMC floss to tie in with my lace. The large white flower is by Bazzill, the button is by Button Ups, and rub-on is by American Crafts.
Happy Wednesday!

So fresh and pretty! Eyelet lace reminds me of my childhood, too. It's so delicate and lovely on your card. Your flower is gorgeous. Love the colors and layering! I hope you're having a FUN, FUN summer!! ♥♥ Kay
Oh wow, I love the mix of patterned papers on your card, and I've never seen that Frills embossing border before, thanks so much for the inspiration (and I'm now going off to find a stockist for that border!)
This is beautiful and made by a beautiful person.
Such a pretty card, June. I love that yellow paper with the red flowers - I see it's Daisy D's - an old one but a good one!! Super hand-stitching too.
