Since I doubt I have any real lace, the best I can do is use punches and dies.
For my card, I used the 3 sizes of flowers and colored them using markers and a water brush, cut them out, curled them slightly then stacked them together. I added some Spellbinders fleur de lis die cut corners and some branches and open flower punches for some added lacy interest. I used the medium and small flowers and shadow inks to stamp the ivory bg on top.
The band was stamped using a solid bg flower strip and terra cotta ink. I added a brown, loop punched border to it. The greeting from was stamped using sepia ink and cut out using a Quickutz oval die. I cut one of the punched flowers in half, tucked one half under the sentiment and the other half under the upper left corner. Two faux brads were made using a 1/4 inch hole punch and added.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Fantastic card! LOVE the layered flower with the punched branches and fleur de lis! The lacy border and M. Stewart punched flower accents on the sentiment and corner are really neat!
