CHF Challenge # 3--Pearls and Lace

It is time for the third Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge. The theme for this challenge is "Pearls and Lace" and our hostess is Cindy Haffner. Hope you will be able to play along. For all the details go to the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog.

Now I would like to share the cards I made for this challenge. My card uses the digital image from the Cornish Heritage Farms website called Lily Digital Stamp. It was printed, cut out using a Nestibilities Oval and sponged with Memento Black Ink before removing the image from the cutting die. I found the lace in my sewing cabinet, added some black ribbon over the top edge and finished it off the self-sticking pearls.

Of course, I had to make a second card using different colors. I recolored the image to match  the SU color Rose Red before printing it out. I then sponged SU Rose Red ink around the edges before removing it out of the die. The card stock (SU Rose Red) was dry embossed on about two-thirds of the front panel. Again I covered the top edge of the lace with ribbon and added self-sticking pearls. I hope you enjoy our third challenge.
