Its back to school for me tomorrow. I enjoy my job but I also like to be at home. Alas one needs the money. Can't have it all I guess.
Anyway I have been playing with inlaying lace instead of just adding it as a strip. I think this has potential, it adds dimension and texture and of course is something a little different. I first cut the oval from the card and glued the lace to the back before gluing it down. I left some of the background card showing through the lace and then cut a frame to add some more of the background paper and to also try and frame the lace. The paper is from the Kaisercraft Tea Time range.
This little creation I am popping into the The Shabby Tea Room week #203 Warm and Cosy Challenge and The Crafters Cafe Challenge #48 Ribbon/Lace. Oh My goodness I just saw that The Shabby Tea Room are having a DT call........

I love this card Karen. I like what you;ve done with the lace. Is the cup a die cut? Its been a while since I Looked in here. Ive just set up my own blog. Its been a bit of stress for me as I hadnt a clue how to go about it. Ive still a lot to do to it but maybe you would like to take a look and let me know what you think.
Happy Crafting
