Shabby Chic Doily and Lace card

Hi Everyone.............cant believe its May..........now where did April go!!! Today I am sharing a card that I made using the Madame Peraud papers, a vintage doily and a lace butterfly.
The edges of the card were distressed with scissors and I inserted some cheese cloths where I have torn the paper. 
A pearl was applied to the lace butterfly and some Calico Craft Parts adorn the corners, with a lovely little part placed on the butterfly. The CCP's had some white paint applied using my fingers and I also took one of Tim's stencils and applied some Gathered twigs on to the paper.

There is some sunshine here in my neck of the woods at present, though it has been quite mixed with cloud and showers, but apparently warmer weather is on its way...............Yay!!!


Take care whatever you are up to and I look forward to catching up with you soon

Huge Hugs

  9. Annie, your card is exquisite. I love the detail! The lacy butterfly on top of the doily is such a lovely focal point. Love the flourishes and he stenciling in the background.
