Softly pink (with lace paper)

Greetings from Dublin. My card today is one I've made for a new baby girl. The papers are particularly tactile and soft - perfect for a baby.


Base CS is Bazzill. Over that I've placed (using vellum glue dots) a tissue thin pink lace paper. (The tissue weight paper is pulsated with high speed water jets through a silk screen to create the 'lace pattern'). I then cut out a dress shape from pink CS. Next, I used a different white lace paper, with little floral pattern, to make the dress (laying it over the pink CS). I attached ribbon, ric-rac and bows from stash. The final touch was to centre the gorgeous silver frame (by Nunn Design).

I'm so glad you stopped by my blog - thank-you!

I've entered card to the following challenges;
