Card Patterns #59

I've been on a sketch card roll baby ;)
and have another one to share with you today!

Today's card was inspired by 

and my card....
Ok, I have a new favorite card now ;)
I love how this one came together.
I used some new Fancy Pants Road Show
products (papers and journaling tag).
I also used some vintage lace, hemp cord,
Prima alpha stickers, EK Success "Parisian" 
border punch, and chestnut roan chalk ink.

I am also officially addicted to making
these spiral paper flowers :0
{click photo to enlarge}
To make the flowers I used varying
sizes of Nesties circle dies, cut them into
spirals, twirled them around the end of
tweezers, released, unraveled a bit,
then squished the sides down with my
fingers to create dimension and to show
the reverse side of the double-sided paper.

I am working on a project using LOTS of
these handmade roses; can't wait to finish
it up and share it with you!

Thanks for stopping by today!!
