I'm new to machine cutting so was a bit nervous about the lace effect, but think this turned out beautiful.
All the layers look like a lot of paper, but the base card fits on one 12x12 sheet, and you can get pieces for two of the carousels on one white and one colored sheet of 12x12 paper.
Normally I tend to want glue right to the very edge of pieces, but think the lace edge looks better if it's not completely glued down.
I used an embossing folder to add texture to the top layer, and added a bow and some rhinestones colored with an alcohol ink marker to match.
A few hints if you're also new to this: Make sure your sitcky mat is sticky as you don't want the paper to lift up at all, and it also helps pull out the little holes from the lace.
If you don't have a purchased scraper, an old plastic credit card works great to push the holes off your mat.
If you use textured paper for the lace pieces, be sure to have a very sharp blade. As a bonus, the words could be used on other cards. Absolutely gorgeous - I'm so glad I tried the lace designs!
