I love my cards relatively flat (for easy postage) but somewhat textured for visual and tactile interest. So for this Love cherish adore card, I pieced together remnant pieces of lace for base of the card.
It looks like a whole piece of lace, right? *pats self on the back*
Then I distressed the edges of the sentiment panel to add a little more texture.
I finished with my fave ribbon tab and button combo. It is a great way to use up little bits of ribbon that are too short to tie a bow with and lone buttons. :)
P/s: Happy Valentine's Day friends! :)
