Buttons & Lace - 1

The I Love ProMarker challenge this week is:

As you will have noticed, this week the theme is to raid your stash for BUTTONS & LACE as we want to see BOTH - and don't forget, to enter our challenges

YOU MUST USE LETRASET PENS – EITHER PROMARKERS, TRIAS, FLEXMARKERS OR AQUAMARKERS ON YOUR CARD OR PROJECT.
 
I knew that I have buttons in my stash, but Lace... this is not something that I had!!!  After having a look at the pictures of cards from the DT I noticed that while some did use Lace other used something that looked like Lace (giving the effect of lace), so if it was good enough for the DT I guess it would work for me.
 
On Wednesday I was at my local Scrapbook Crop and asked those there for ideas... 2 members of the group had got for Christmas the Woodware Crafty Edger Boarder Punch System with a selection of cassettes, one of them looked like lace.  After having a play I created a strip of paper with the patten punched on either side.
 
This is the first of 2 cards that include both Buttons & Lace:
 

The image is from Little Musing and coloured with my ProMarkers, cut out using Label 1 (Nestibility dies).  I added a strip of 'Lace' and mounted the buttons on some embroidery thread to match the colour of my angels hair.
