Papercraft Star Challenge #64

     Our Papercraft Star challenge this week is lace.  As you can see, I chose to go the "paper" lace route.  For my card I used some beautiful Basic Grey papers paired with a sweet little chef in a "lacey" apron from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I used a doily "lace" punch and "Lacey" Nestie circles.  I guess you could even say the butterfly is kinda lacey.  I bet if we ask her, my little chef's name is even Lacey!  LOL  The sentiment was printed on a background image from the Blank Background (045) digital sheet from our sponsor, The House Across the Bay.

     I used a larger portion of the same image to add a poem to the inside of my card.

Here's what the poem says:

My Recipe For Love

Take two cups of kindness,

add one cup of trust.

A half of cup of caring,

and a dash of pixie dust.

Take a spoon of kisses,

add it from above.

Stir it slow and gently,

that's my recipe for love.

Sift some understanding,

add a pinch of tenderness.

Blend a dash of romance,

stir it with caress.

Combine them all together,

add a turtle dove.

Makes two life time servings,

that's my recipe for love.

~ Alice Donatelli

     Isn't that sweet!
