Here's what I did: I wanted it to be all white on white, but then rethought it and decided to include one slim layer of black to give it a little kick. I applied a bit of my UTEE/gold EP mix around the edge to bring in the gold. The white layer is embossed with an SU embossing folder. Along the bottom, under the flower and bow, I ran a strip of very fine white tulle - it's actually four layers of tulle, stretched and secured at the back. Across the tulle, I ran a length of that amazing embroidered lace. Added one of my favorite crinoline flowers (tutorial here), tied a bow of the lace and inserted a gold and pearl stick pin through a tag to secure it. I topped it off with a his and hers heart set. It's really a pretty simple card for me - not as much layering as I usually do, but I wanted to give the embellishments the staring role. Most of these embellishments can be found in my Etsy store as follows:
Venise Lace Hearts
Crinoline
Embroidered Sheer Lace (brand new in the shop and completely gorgeous!)
Stick Pins
Rosebud Appliques
