Lace it Up!

I’ve noticed that lace is a new embellishment for cards and scrapbook pages.  Real lace is great, but paper lace can also be attractive.  Just punch out paper with a border punch for this kind.  Today I’m using real lace (get cotton lace as it adheres better).  I attached mine with Scor-tape, but you can use the adhesive of your choice.  It can be airbrushed with Copic markers or sprayed with Glimmer Mist to change the color.  Here are two cards and I’m working on a page.  Also notice that the buttons on the second card have matching thread.  This is waxed dental floss colored with Copic marker.  No more need to have all colors of thread!
