Love the faux lace technique! You are clever like a fox! LOL TFS! Beautiful card!
Awww thanks so much Barb – you are very kind my friend! 😀
Fabulous use of your brayer for this faux lace technique,,,a fabulous addition to a shabby look.
That is awesome. Love how the faux lace technique looks. Love how you used the real lace too.
What a great idea! I love the idea of reusing the lace once it’s been stamped. Gosh, I have so many new “stamp” possibilities now!! In addition to lace you could use burlap, mesh fabric, canvas, ribbon, twine…. I can’t wait to give this a try!
Thank you MariLynn, I will be watching to see you use this technique – our lace can match our cards perfectly now! 😀
Thanks so much Roni – yes, the possibilities are endless – have fun and make sure you come back and show us! 😀
What a cretive and inspiring idea Linda! I love the design and texture. Beautiful card.
Thanks for this Linda – I have used lace as a stencil before, but not on a roller – as MariLynn said, this really opens up the possibilities!
