Lacy Look

A couple posts ago I hinted that I was going to show you a lacy look that I created, and today I have a super simple, super quick, yet super effective use of the three Bra Sets available from Skipping Stones Design! How about we create a lace pattern with just four basic supplies?!

First, gather up some high quality white cardstock, an alcohol color marker of your choice, the Copic Colorless Blender pen, and a wide strip of scrap lace.

Start by laying down color onto cardstock, to about the size of your choice of Skipping Stones Design Bra stamp. It doesn't have to be neat, and using the broad side of the marker makes fast work of this. Next, loosely lay the lace on top of the cardstock and start blotting the holes in the lace with the Colorless Blender. This actually removes color, leaving the lacy pattern. Finally, stamp your image in crisp ink, and shade like normal.

My card uses one of the bras featured in this month's release, Bras Volume 3 as well as the sentiments from this same set. I stamped the background with a pattern from Damask Dalring for a bit of texture.

I was inspired by the sketch at Retro Sketches to finish off the design of my card. I added some luscious May Arts Black Silk Ribbon too!
