Well, if you haven’t figured it out, I finally straightened out all my laces and got them wound onto matboard (granted not little pieces like I do with my Ribbon Storage). Now that I can get to it all and it’s filed away in a drawer, I’ve fallen in love with it all over again. Several of you have asked where I got it and unfortunately I have no idea. I only have Walmart, Michaels and Joanns around but I have a stash of fabric and laces because I sew too. If I had to bet on it, I think the one I’m using today is from Michaels and was purchased within the last three or four months. Lace addicts know that you can find lace in the least likely places for recycling and tucked in odd places in department stores, right?!? So on to my card today, I wanted a vintage look so I went for chocolate with a hint of mauve which is one of my favorite palettes.
It would have been a shame to cover up those stripes so I cut two Spellbinders Lacey Circles and hollowed them out using Spellbinders Standard Circles SM and paired them up with the leaves from Spellbinders Foliage. I ran a small scallop across the top of my lace using Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Borderabilities Petite and topped everything off with Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two off to the left side. Can I just say that the Nestabling that I used on the Fancy Tags Two makes my heart sing!! They’ve already configured the pearls – all I have to do is stick them down and I think they look stunning!! I’m using a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs May Release called Porch — what a sweet set!

Just beautiful. Love the lace (I can’t bear to cut mine most of the time) and the Nest-a-bling!!! WOW ee…never saw that before. I would have ended up doing it the long and hard way!!!
PS…can you come over and organize my mess???

Stunningly GORGEOUS, Becca!!!
hi Becca,
LOVE these colors together and that lace just fits the bill!
Great card and sentiment as well.
Wow, wow, wow, Becca, how beautiful! Love the lace, the pearls, the flower and leaves. GORGEOUS!!!!
Beautiful, I love the lace and want 2 scrap bling.
WOUW Becca this is soooo gorgeous, but then your creations always are LOL. I just love the lace and the bling, it looks sooooo romantic and I´m sure, whoever will recieve this card, will just be so thrilled to recieve such a beauty. I love, what you´ve done here, it´s so gorgeous.
Happy Sunday sweet blessings to you Becca and everyone who has left a comment. Your card is stunning, stunning and more stunning. I don’t know how you come up with the ideas for all the gorgeous cards you make, but each card is truly amazing and ever so precious. I’m constantly looking around in my shopping expeditions in antique and thrift stores for beautiful lace, but never seem to be able to find it. I remember years ago you could find it almost anywhere. Thank you for sharing all your fabulous ideas with all of us. Your creative talent is definitely a gift from the Lord.
What I do to not waste ribbon or lace is only use enough to cover the part that shows. I cut the ribbon/lace at the diecut leaving the part underneath with nothing.
Blessings to you and your wonderful talent. I totally love the card.
Love the vintage feel of this card Becca. Very pretty as always. Thanks for answering about locations of where you find all your beautiful lace. I guess I will have to be more diligent in my search. I do shop at JoAnns alot as I am a sewer also. Of the stores you have mentioned, they have the largest variety of lace. Don’t think I have seen any at our Michaels, and our Walmarts have gotten rid of their sewing departments. As large as San Diego is, you would think that we would have a better selection of stores then we do. This has always been a complaint of mine since we moved here almost 20 years ago.

Beautiful card. Love those colors also. How do you get the thick lace to go behind the card without looking funny? I seem to have trouble with that. Edna
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Hi Becca just love this card everything about it is stunning. I love how you can look through and see you beautiful strip paper. Simply gorgeous. Take care, thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects. Love and Hugs x ChrisB
Pearls and lace-what could be better?! This is beautiful.
Thank you Becca. Another stunning card. Such effort you put into every card you make and such creativity. You are amazing.
Gorgeous pearls and lace..
Hello and Happy Sunday Becca,
What a Beautiful Card! I was wondering if you can help me in regards to the seam binding you use. Is it Rayon or Cotton and where can you locate it. I have been to our local Joanns and they only have the folded Quilt binding. Thank you for your help and Thank you for being our Inspiration. Have a wonderful day.
As always love it, love it, love it. Thankyou for sharing. Anne x
It’s lucky for us that you have found your lace. Your card is gorgeous Becca. Pearls and lace they really do compliment each other. Lovely color combination. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
WOW!!! I love every bit of it. So very beautiful!
Our WalMart no longer has a sewing section and I’ve never seen lace at our Michael’s either. I have found some in thrift shops and yard sales. I am ashamed to admit my lace is a tangled mess. Most of it was purchased in grab bags when Ben Franklin closed their doors over twenty years ago. None of it is as beautiful as yours but still deserves to be give a little love. You have inspired me to get them organized.
Blessings Bernie
Beautiful card and that lace is stunning.
I find alot of my pretty lace at the local Antique Mall.
ColleenB.
So beautiful, Becca!
That Nestabling is a wonderful thing!!!
I thought you had spent hours putting all those pearls on your Fancy tag :o)
Hugs, Candy
Becca, this card is so very beautiful, lace, flower and layout is gorgeous. The quote is one of my all time favorites.. Great card!!
Hugs, Jean
Hi Becca!
Ditto and more Ditto…..to everything that has already been said above! Because of you I now have an organized ribbon and lace area in my craft room. I love using lace as much as you do and I love the added “specia-ness” that people feel when they receive a card like this! I love all your ideas and as I’m able to get the tools I need to make them……..I know where to go for ideas!!
Thank you ever so much for helpings all of us on our road to higher levels of creativity. You are just the best Becca………and so appreciated!
You are certainly using your God-given talents to create such beautiful cards.
Oh I agree with you on the “Nestabling” Becca!!!!!!!! JUST GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! :) SIGH!!!! WHAT A CARD!!!!!!!! This is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! LOVE EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Wow! What a beautiful card. I love what you do with spellbinder dies. You are so creative. I have learned so much from you. Thank you.
Wow! Yet another gorgeous card. I love the ribbon rose…and would LOVE a tutorial on how you made it…pretty please :) xx
this is such a beautiful card. i really like the color palette too. i’m sure your friends and family must cherish your cards they receive. i too shop at thrift stores, yard and estate sales. my sister also scores some really wonderful buys of old lace and ribbons on ebay for really cheap, but you have to be a regular shopper there.
Hi Becca – beautiful card! I am a lace addict – i would have to say this looks like wedding lace :) that is where I look when I want to find extra gorgeous lace :) Your creations are always so scrumptious!
I agree with your remark about the Nestabling – makes the heart sing! I also really like the idea of the ‘wreath’ structure to not obscure the background. A beautiful card, of course!
Beautiful card. Lovely vintage look. We still have fabric in our Wal-Mart but when they remodel they will no doubt do away with it and when they came to town they closed all of our fabric stores.
I like the card and special the lace you put on the card and the pearls. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day :)
Delama
Absolutely beautiful card!
Beautiful Becca!!! Nestabling huh? I LOVE it with one of my FAVE verses from Psalm 23… *deep contented sigh* Gorgeous lace and details on this card :) See ya Tuesday!
Love n hugs,
Lori
Just a gigantic, WOW! My colors also.
Hugs, Jeanielou in PA
BEAUTIFUL Becca!!~
Exquisite! Stunning! Amazing! I still don’t think these words fully describe what I think of todays elegant creation Becca. I love the colousr, the lace, the nestabling, the set out….it’s just WOW!
Love Sheila xx
Gorgeous card Becca. It is very elegant and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
The layout of this card is great! I can use it for some much needed birthday cards that will be used in the coming month. The wreath like appearance is great and the scripture I love but don’t own any stamps but the basic birthday,sympathy,and thinking of you. This gives me a starting place on a rainy day when I ‘m inside. Thanks it is very pretty and the colors are perfect together.
Gorgeous card!!!
There are so many elements to this card to love! The color palate for one, and the cleaver big circles for another. And how can you go wrong with lace?!! Just beautiful – and thank you for the inspiration!
WOW…YUM!!!! Love it!
Beautiful and inspiring, as always, Becca! I love the color palette as well as all the fabulous details — the flower, ribbon, lace, leaves, pearl frame… I have tons of lace, too, mostly from my sewing days. I used to buy in bulk. Boy, do I have a lot of lace!
Traumhaft schön.
LG Eve
I love this card with all the textures.
Oh Becca – another stunning beautiful card. colours are gorgeous and the pearls are a treat……. and the lace and flower………….. amazing blend.
Hugs

Hello Becca ~ what a lovely color combination you’ve used on this card, and the art as always, gorgeous and so imaginative. Take care. Blessings.
Thank You Becca!! I will treasure my card from you. It is absolutley beautiful! I am in awe of your talent. It is just really unbelievealbe!!!
Hi Becca!! Just took your poll. Had to answer that nothing you had listed came close to my other craft “passion”. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to gift wrap! I have such a fettish for beautiful wrapping paper and ribbon, ribbon, ribbon. My absolute favorite time if year, is Christmas. Not only because, I believe it is the one time of the year, people truly do get along with each other; but, because, now I get to wrap presents. Have a great day Becca. I just love the work you do. Thank you for your inspiration.
Consider me WOWED! Love it! YOU are AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!
This is just STUNNING. Of course when is anything you do anything less? Becca your blog is one of my all time favorites and I wish I had just even a 1/4 of your talent.
Thank you for sharing it with us….whenever my creative mojo needs recharged I come here first…of course I come here when it doesn’t too.
Your card reminds me of Andrea Bocelli’s music. I think it’s the brown/beige striped background and ribbon through the beautiful lace. So elegant, stately and yet warm at the same time. Both card and music infuse me with warmth and happiness. The Nestabling and rose/leaves add a delightful light touch. Your creativity simply knocks my socks off.
Becca,
Love this card. The lace is so beautiful and adding the ribbon was just right. Again, another spectacular card.
I love pearls and lace together on a card, so romantic, so elegant and so pretty. Beautiful card Becca!
LOL Eileen
beautiful card, love that color scheme and lace is one of my favs. i am in awe of how you get the nestabling so neatly on the labbel. everytime ii try to use a adhesive fancy piece it gets all out of shape for me, that includes bling shapes, felt fancy borders etc… i’mj a dud at it
Becca, this is so beautiful. The verse, the ribbon, the lace, the pearls, the paper, the beads…. – such a fabulous combination!
Hugs

Simply gorgeous Becca!! The colors, the shapes, everything!
Becca, This card is beautiful. The colors, the pearls, the open circles that show the DP. Everything looks so pretty! Great design.
Where do you get your seam binding for your ribbons….luv em”
Stunning, elegant and beautiful. I’m with you, when I see lace, I buy it, no matter if I have a project for it or not at the time. I will eventually use it in my”someday” box!
would not even think of this as just a card, its a masterpiece
There has not been one single detail overlooked in this card, Becca … how beautiful.
Beautiful color combo, lovely lace and like the threading of the ribbon through it, the sentiment tag is gorgeous with that pearl framing, love the design!
Very pretty! I haven’t tried using lace yet, I guess I will have to find some!
I’m really loving the neutral tones and lace you’re using lately. This card is so pretty!
Absolutely stunning! Love the barely pink rose against the black and white stripes.
