I was looking at one of Pat Smethers' cards which had a lovely lace boarder on it. Went through my stamps and didn't find anything I could substitute. Sat down at my work table and pouted for a while. Then my eyes settled onto a stack of Cuttle Bugged CS from my buddie Nancy Crone. Yureeka! Followed the design of the embossing and trimmed the lower edge to resemble lace. Sponged on Sage Shadow a little heavier at the outer edges. Mounted that onto a light green piece of CS using pop dots and then assembled the card using Dark Green. Added knotted ribbon at the top right corner for interest and then added the pearls because pearls go with lace. Found a sheet of sentiments in my scrapbook supplies and used the remainder of the ribbon to embellish the sentiment.

Lovely card. The pearls look so beautiful inside the scallops. Very nice.
