Mother's Day Card - Scrapy Land Challenge #66 - Add Pearls and/or Lace

Hello crafty friends and visitors! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land, and this time the theme is 'Add Pearls and/or Lace' using at least one brand die that Scrapy Land sells in the shop. I've gone with a Mother's Day card I made for my Mom. I'm happy to report it arrived safely in the coordinating box I made for it (but forgot to photograph), and she loves it.

For the background I applied grit paste to thin chipboard and allowed to dry. I applied texture paste through a Prima stencil and sprinkled with embossing tinsel. I dried with heat tool to get even more texture.  I painted the panel with chalk paint and wiped embossed areas back with damp cloth before drying. I colored the panel with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide and blended the edges with Watering Can Archival ink.

The pink lace is from my stash and  dyed with Picked Raspberry and Vintage Photo Distress stain. I had put some lace patterned tissue tape down before adding my stenciling on the background, but it really didn't look good, so I covered it with the real lace. Much better, but my flourishes are upside down! C'est la vie! It's mostly covered anyway!

I cut two of the  Memory Box Palace Oval Frame--one of heavy card stock and one from thin chipboard. I glued the two together to give it more rigidity and used Stampendous Aged silver Frantage to age the frame.

My largest flower (which looks like a peony to me) was made using Sizzix Bigz Tattered Florals die (second to the smallest) and Spellbinders Tammy Tutterow Tattered Posies (2 smallest)die. I colored the petals with Worn Lipstick Distress ink and DOX. The smaller roses and buds were made using Sizzix Small Tattered Florals Thinlits dies. The two off white flowers are store bought flat daisy types colored with DecoArt Everlasting chalk paint and twisted up to make buds. I guess I could have used the Small Tattered Florals with the same effect, but I've got a lot of store bought stash to use up!

I used Tattered Lace Ornate Leaves die for my greenery and Sizzix Butterfly Frenzy Decorative Strip die for the butterfly.

I don't have a suitable Mother's Day sentiment so the 'Special Day' die cut (Penny Black Splendid Wishes) saved the day. It was one of the many sweet gifts from my good friend and teamie Lisa (A Mermaid's Crafts). Thank you, Lisa; I love this die! I aged it with Frantage in Aged Silver, the same that I used on my heart charm and three half pearls.

That's all for me today! I hope you'll take a minute to stop by Scrapy Land to see all the beautiful inspiration from my talented teammates! And then it's over to you! I hope you'll create something with lace and/or pearls and use any die Scrapy Land sells and link up! You'll have a chance of winning a $15 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land online shop.
