Monochromatic Lace Motifs

Hi blog friends!  A monochrome card using some leftover pieces of decorative papers and a few other of my favourite products for today's card.  I started by picking a couple of papers (one from Graphic 45 and the other one was a music script paper, but I can't recall where it was from).  I matted both with milk card and black card and taped them to a larger milk card background piece. I added a black Vintage Lace border on one side.   I adhered strips of self adhesive paper to either side, peeled the backing paper to reveal the sticky adhesive.  I poured silver luna mica flakes over them for a glitzy edge.  I stamped my sentiment on milk card and cut it out with my Vintage Lace accent die.  While still in the die, I inked it with Black Soot distress ink lightly.   I cut two of the Vintage Lace Motifs in black card and nipped away the outer ring of the design, creating a smaller motif shape.  I mounted these diagonally and placed the sentiment die cut in the centre.  I added a double bow tied from offwhite silky crush ribbon with a fancy button centre. I added some pearl swirls to the upper and lower parts of the card.  I cut a wide border card and using the Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA glue, I added a paved pearl edge to the card.  You can see a close up below of this technique as well as the mica flake border.  A lot of bling, I know, but I think it looks rather blingtastic!  What's your verdict?  All for now, Sue x
