WT519 - romantic elements of Buttons and Lace on our cards. You do not need to make a romantic card, but you must use Buttons and Lace, faux or real, stamped or as part of your DP, or even die cut.
The beautiful lace is from SCS friend Jan (heartsong47). A Million Thanks Jan, it is so beautiful!!! The flower girl was colored in copics. I had printed 2 of her and colored 2 of her for one of the color challenges and decided to use the second on this card. The flowers were cut out of white paper, shaped, colored and stickles added. There are 2 DPs one on the left one on the right and they are sewn on the navy paper. The ribbon is 2 colors and a lacy ribbon all tied together and then a button mounted on top.
The reason for the three is because roses are a bit tougher to shape and glue as they are very small. These little blue roses were so fun to make until I decided to use the glue gun on my fingers. Ouch but they turned out exactly as I had hoped so it was all worth it in the end.
Thanks for looking! I look forward to seeing your buttons and lace cards.

This is so very pretty! What fitting embellishments for your image! I love the way you have coloured her. That button and bow cluster in the corner is lovely with its different ribbons and fantastic pearl! This shade of blue is one of my favourites. TFS

Lisa this is so peaceful looking with the image and all the details. Like how you added the bling to the image, and your roses are fun. Yes they can be a burn hazard with the glue gun.....but they are worth the effort. tfs
