At first I didn't think I was going to be able to participate in the TLC today but I see there are other substitutions uploaded so I decided to dive in and see if I get booted out or not. If it makes any difference, I have done this technique years ago and it is really cool! So here's my submission anyway. I substituted for the sponging lace a Lace BG Stamp from CHF. The floral focal image was inspired by a striped T-Shirt I bought that had this color and a floral silhouette stamped on it. Joan I hope I didn't offend you for not following the rules.
Thanks for looking.

It's lovely card! When we don't have access to a certain tool or item...we improvise, and that's what you did. I love the colors of your card and the lace design adds a wonderful texture.

Great lace, I don't think it matters how we get to where we are going so long as we get there! I tried several pieces of lace before I found one with more open spaces that would work.
This is really lovely.
