L: Lace stamps, lace background, lovely lilac & lavender lace inks, linen textured cs, live, laugh, love words, LR0272 lattice die (Marianne creatables), laser printer, & last thing from last card was the gold cord- here I tied a tiny bow of it.
I printed the background on the laser printer, and foiled it with purple foil. Layer that onto purple cs, then orchid opulence smooth cs. Sponged the edges of the OO cs with lavender lace & orchid opulence inks. Die cut the lattice center & frame die from purple cs, then sponged edges with lavender lace ink. Cut 2 more layers of the lattice center, and glued all 3 layers of lattice together for depth. Layered the frame & lattice center onto linen textured orchid opulence cs, rounded corners, sponged edges of this piece also with both lavender lace & orchid opulence inks. Stamped orchid opulence with lace stamps around edges of card base. Mounted all the layers on the base, took a strip of orchid opulence cs and layered the purple trim onto that, sponged edges with just orchid opulence ink, then mounted onto card. Tied a little bitsy bow from the gold cord used on my last card, then stuck that to the trim, with a purple heart rhinestone in the center. I had a gap in the lace stamping, so I tried to overstamp it, but it was pretty obvious, so I took Dazzles words (hey! 3 more Ls, right?) and disguised the icky bit by mostly covering with word stickers and a couple stars. Added a purple star rhinestone in the center of the lattice, purple square rhinestones in the layer corners, and little round rhinestones on the compass points of the motif.

Jaw drop! This is stunning my friend! Truly! I love foil you added to this card yourself- it is truly gorgeous! I love the lace, the lacy die in the middle, the marvelous sparkly ribbon at the bottom of the card and the wonderful sentiment in gold. Excellent card for the L alphabet challenge! ~Karen.

Show stopping beauty!! You use and display your die cuts beautifully . This is the kind off gorgeousness I come to expect from you!!! So creative and no fear in experimenting your craft. Knew you had that foil making machine. Nice to finally see what you do with it. MFS.
