This card is for today's Alphabet challenge letter L for lace, for yesterday's tea party challenge, and I used an old sketch, slightly modified. It is kind of hard to see it, but I have a piece of lace running across the panel in the background. Also the bottom right embossed panel was done using the Lovely Lace embossing folder so I think I have lace covered.
Yesterday's tea party is for a sweet friend's mom and we are sharing joy. I have shared a favorite verse for encouragement and I have an assortment of dry embossed panels which make me happy (plus I used some stash in the creation of this card which also gives me joy!).
I selected the three embossed panels and dragged my Coastal Cabana ink pad across all three of them to highlight the embossing. I also dragged it lightly across the sentiment panel for some texture behind the verse.
After adhering my three embossed panels to white card stock, I added the strip of lace. I heat embossed the sentiment for some shine and matted that panel with a narrow mat of black. I did do a mirror stamped bird in the lower right corner though it isn't a cardinal. To finish the card, I added the rose die cut from Melon Mambo. I hope Berniece likes her tea party!
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking!

Beautiful card. Love the aqua and white with those touches of black. Beautiful color palette. Love all the texture you created and how you showcased that wonderful verse. All your little details (the lace, the embossing (dry and heat), the rose, the bird) add so much texture and interest to this card. Fabulous job.
