Sharing a card today that unusually for me has only one layer plus embellishments.
I've used 3 panels of differing papers from Graphic 45's 'A Ladies Diary' collection. Added a lace trim that I've been hoarding for ages to save for a special piece where it looked just right. Then applied pearl trims, roses and die cut leaves (Memory Box 'Grape Vine' die). Edged perimeter with Distress Ink 'Black Soot'. That's It!
I wish I could make all my cards so handily as this doesn't happen often!
Very many thanks for stopping by,
Nicola x
