Decorative Lace Border Creation

Good morning my crafty friends!  I wanted to show some of the ways that the Heartfelt Creations Decorative lace border could be used.  It is a very wide border so it could be limiting because of it's size.  I found this border to be extremely versatile because of its size though.  I used it here by cutting it into two sections and removing the centre area.  I cut the border after the lattice section and matted it with teal card then added some foam mounting to the back.  I added it atop the bottom section of the border for dimension.  The background of the card was stamped with the sentiment then embossed with Labels 24 twice so it overlapped the first one, creating a ring around my sentiment. I lightly inked the area with chipped sapphire to highlight the embossing.   I made several flowers using the spiral flower three die.  The bottom one was made using black glitter card and the top three flowers were made using decorative paper.  I cut the die twice and made three flowers from it by cutting the die rather than spiralling the entire length of the die cut.  I used the leftover piece from the cut to make a small third flower.  I added some black glitter card leaves for balance.  I finished the card with some black rhinestone swirls and paper piercing around the edges.  I hope you like my take on the decorative lace border and flowers.  All for now, Sue x
