Buttons & Lace - 2

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 second of 2 cards that include both Buttons & Lace:


This card also features a strip of 'Lace' along with a image from Little Claire Designs, the buttons were then added to each corner in 'autumn' colours (the colours don't show very well in this picture).

  1. Hi Helen. Well, actually you're not 100% correct about not using 'real' lace - all the DT did manage to use the real stuff somewhere on their cards but the idea was just reinforced with lacy papers too. I can sympathise with you though if you didn't have any in your stash. I admit to buying some just for my cards & I am sure the other gals are the same too! LOL. I do love your border though. A pretty punch. Thanks for joining us at I ♥ Promarkers this week.
