Hugs!

This card is based on the sketch at the Waltzing Mouse Stamps Challenge, and it has brown, red and turquoise for the CR84FN13 challenge.
 I haven't used any patterned paper - just stamped myself- for this card and all my embellishments are handmade  which is the "Get creative" challenge at The Shabby Tearoom - even the lace is handmade - by me when I was 12 (!) - using a lace making pillow like the one below. Had to include another pic to show that my lacemaking skills have improved since, but I just didn't want to sit down at tie up and hide all those loose ends 0-: for this card!!! It is also a Valentine's card for Mark's Finest paper.
Stamps are from; Waltzing Mouse, Gel-a-tins, Skipping Stones and Prickley Pears.

    This is such a pretty card. I love the soft colors. That lace is just gorgeous! And you made it yourself, truly talented. I have never seen the process of lace being made. Thanks for sharing the photos. Definitely a lot of work into making lace.

    Karin, this card is lovely! I especially loved your pictures of your hand-made laces......I remember seeing something in Belgium years ago, using the wooden bobbins; you've brought back some lovely memories!
