so it feels good to be back at the IC! Thanks Stef for the clean and fresh designs of Skeem to be inspired with! This boudoir lantern spoke to me, check it out!
My dear Mother in law turns 80 next week. I can't wait for the party! She is one lovely and fashionable lady. When I saw the Boudoir lantern, I couldn't wait to turn it into a Birthday card. I stamped all my lace images onto SU's very vanilla with Memento Tuxedo Black. The top two are from B Line Designs lace cube and the bottom three are part of a clear set from Paper Inspirations. I added the checked trim with the picot edging on top of the 4th lace. My husband could not believe these were stamped images, they looked so real. The Happy Birthday is from Flourishes occasions set. It was inked with VersaFine Red Satin and embossed with clear.
Please let me know what you think, it's a CAS from me!
Have a refreshing weekend!

I like all your lace images, Susan. I'd have been tempted to colour the floral border, instead of leaving well enough alone. This reminds me of an old chiffon headscarf I picked up in a charity shop and had pinned to my wall for years.
