Papertake Weekly Challenge - Faking it


Hi fellow cardmaking addicts - Hope all is well with you all in Blogland.
This will be the first time that I have entered the Papertake Weekly Challenge and the subject is "Faking it" which I thought might be a bit of a teaser. I decided in the end to go down the fake lace path. I have a Fiskars 2-in-1 punch that cuts lace borders round 2 sizes of circles so I used that to cut the pattern round card circles in 2 shades of pink cut with my Cricut Expressions (George and Basic Shapes cartridge). I cut two sizes of green scalloped circles with my Nesties and mounted the small ones on the small pink circles and used the large one to mount "Country Garden" by Sugar Nellie which is coloured using my trusty Copic Ciaos. I used a flowered lattice backing paper (name unknown) and then cut the bottom edge of the card with a straight Fiskars lace border punch and backed it with a strip of green card before mounting all the circles. The flowers, ribbon and sentiment are from my stash most of which was bought in the wonderful Stampaholics in Perth.
I'm quite pleased with the result but would welcome any comments you would like to leave. They make my day.
Hugs,
Fiona x
