Beverly's Pennant Card with Gorgeous Cluny Lace!!!

Good morning!!  Here's the card I created for our lace challenge.   I started with a plain vanilla card base.  The top mat is cut from this gorgeous red paper from the Happy Travels pad and layered atop another, slightly larger mat from Esse Smooth Pearlized Cocoa.   I love the pearlized paper!   Such a subtle sheen and so elegant!!


I cut a triangle from the cocoa paper and added the birthday sentiment from the Birthday Rubz.  It is sooo easy to apply the Rubz...especially since I used a stylus from the McGill Paper Blossoms Tool Kit.  If you would like to see more detailed instructions on applying the Rubz, click here.  These are great sentiments and it's VERY hard to see that it's not a stamp!  Very high quality!!


Before adhering the birthday pennant, I adhered the border of Ivory Cluny Lace.  I'm like Holly...this lace is just jaw-dropping!


The corners are cut from the cocoa cardstock using one of the corners from the Lace Corner Deco A set.  I adhered it using a Quickie Glue Pen.   Just put the glue in several spots on the back and hold with your finger for a few seconds to adhere.   No muss, no fuss!


I added LeCreme Pearls to the Lace Deco corners, opposite corners and the pennant.  The card front is framed with gold lines from the Gold Lines outline stickers.

Holly's Copper Fish


Hi, it's Holly posting today.  Have you seen the new Father's Day Bundles?  I created this card using the Bass Fishing Bundle, and it's perfect for giving to the men in my family.
I started by cutting out the awesome Bass Fishing Cheery Lynn die from plain white cardstock.  I covered the entire die cut with copper pigment ink and then poured the Copper embossing powder over the whole thing.  A heat gun melted the Copper embossing powder onto the die cut, and I set it aside to cool. 
Do you see the rich blue/green background?  I used the Watercolor Distress technique from Technique Junkies to create that background with four of the Tim Holtz distress inks - Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Peacock Feathers (Spring 2012 set), and Evergreen Bough (Winter 2011 set).  I love how these colors look together!  I adhered my "copper fish" to this background, and then adhered the whole thing to a plain white card base.  One of the Father's Day Rubz is applied to the inside of the card to wish my dad a Happy Father's Day.
