This card was also made for the "Textured to Perfection" challenge at Moxie Fab World. I used handmade lace for my bg and just want to take the chance to point out that lace that looks like this is NOT crocheted. I see a lot of manufacturers use that name for it, but this type of lace is made like this (or in a similar way if massproduced):
 |
| lace by me using thin tread |
 |
| lace making pillow |
- and not with a hook. I hope I don't come across as too nit -picky, being a textile teacher I just think these things are important and took this chance (-: .
Have a wonderful week! Hugs, Karin

I am so jealous that you know how to do this! (not that I have the time to learn) Your lace is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a pretty fall placemat on a lovely lace tablecloth Karin! what a beautiful creation!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow...I could not imagine how people spent so much time making lace in that manner. No wonder people only had ONE Sunday dress in the old days...it took a year of Sundays just to make the lace for it. LOL. Your card is amazing and I love the lace that you used.
ReplyDeleteOh my WORD. I am stunned and speechless, Karin! Did YOU make that lace? It's the most beautiful thing, and looks spectacular as a card background. Somebody really special better be getting this one! I just love how you layered the labels and the teeny little leaf is the perfect finishing touch! WOW!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card Karin! Those little leaves framing the sentiment look fab!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe that you know what to do with all those little bobbins Karin! The lace is gorgeous and makes a perfect background to your pretty card.

ReplyDeleteLovely card and such fab, warm autumn colours...great added detail too! Thanks for sharing with us at CES this week :) Donna ♥ x
ReplyDeleteStunning! A true beauty here! Thanks for joining Pals Paper Arts this week!
ReplyDeleteOh my, you created that lace yourself?! Its amazing!!! I love the main feature of the beautiful leaves and sentiment, its so restful!
ReplyDeleteNot only did you make a gorgeous card, but that description of how the lace was made is so interesting! I love how you framed the focal point with leaves and how the beautiful lace extends just a bit over the cardbase. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKarin, that lace steals the show - just beautiful!! I loved the photo showing the pegs and how the lace is made. Makes me appreciate it all the more.

ReplyDeleteOtroligt vackert! Säljer du spets också? Fast den blir väl läskigt dyr... den är ju inte direkt klar på en kväll! :-) Knyppla har jag alltid velat lära mig, men tiden... Kanske ska komma hem till dig på lite kurser nån dag/kväll/helg/vecka eller nåt.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lace, I tried learning this, started on braid and that's as far as I went, had classes at a local church group and then the teacher moved on at the end of the second term. Still have my pillow and bobbins!
ReplyDeleteSandy
