This card is for the Alpha Challenge B. It is also for the Tuesday Teapot Challenge.
I chose Belgium as my location for the Alpha challenge. I visited Bruges in Belgium in my 20s. My memory of Bruges is mainly of the beautiful architecture in the main square and lace. I bought a small piece of lace for my mother at the time and wonder what happened to it. They also have delicious chocolate but I did not have an image for chocolates.
I used lace stamps from two sets to create my card, and whilst going through my stash found this fun image. It may be a little risque but I love her lace stockings. This lady is full of fun and attitude. Love Marlene paper craft images. Inside the card will have a positive message, still to be determined, but probably to do with shining brightly.
I found the piece of rose and lace fabric in a box I had forgotten about. Time for another clear out in my craft room!
At the last moment I added a chipboard feather which I had painted with my sparkly paint at least 2 years ago and bling. It reminded me of Moulin Rouge and perhaps I should have kept this card for P and Paris
TFL. Happy day

Fab lace stamping, fab girl, and great words. This how my legs would look which I am not brave enough to show.....she, however, is very brave. WONDERFUL MIX page, Jayne. Hugz

Oh, my, goodness! I had to visit this card several days before I could leave a comment. Astounding blend of textures (think fishnet nylons), blended color, and the patterns. This woman has presence! Had to scroll up again for the blue netting and blue satin flower buds. What fun…

Jayne,
Wow!! Those stockings made me laugh!! I can remember the pre panty hose time!! Oh no, showing my age!! My mom made me use white gloves to put on my stockings so they didn't catch on my finger nails! Memories!! Your card inspires them!
