I had this glossy orange paper sitting around and rather than waste it, I backed the card with it and "patched" the background together where I had cut away from a sheet of paper. I had previously cut an orange frame with Spellbinders, but it didn't look right, so coloured the frame and the flower with a black Promarker.
I have decided that rather than wait for the right time to cut into papers, with the amount of papers I have - just do it! So I am making cards for friends to give them messages before I move to Australia. This one was for my lovely friend and neighbour, Roberta.
I then coordinated the card with black and white. I had the remainder of a Prima "Say it with Gems" black swirl, so used it here. It adds some sparkle and dimension in real life, though you can't really spot it in the photo. I used some black card candy in the middle of the flowers, and then covered it with orange Stickles, as I did with the word I wanted to accent, and the main flower.
I can use the remainder of the lace paper in my Project Life pages, as we have just had the boys' second birthday party/our farewell do. I think the message on the lace paper is pretty apt!
