Challenges I am sharing with
Double Trouble: Layers + Lace I got 12
The Crafter’s Cafe: Lace/Pearls The lace was gathered so I cut off the edge so it would lay flat. Not sure the pearl paper for the butterflies counts for Pearls.

WOW!!! This is so amazing and beautiful. I really like the layout with the touch of lace. Looks like you can just feel the texture in the background piece.

Beautiful card Bonnie! It looks so elegant with those pretty colors and the lace. Definitely doesn’t look as heavy as “12 layers” makes it sound. 😉

Without the challenge I would not have thought to add the lace. I have quite a lot and I am not a lace fancier. Don’t dislike it just never think to use it.
