Invitation to a Soiree.

Tonight's post is an invitation to  a little soiree that's  happening in  approx  8 weeks . 
 I used the retired  Stampin' up background stamp "I love Lace".   I  really love the delicate pattern on this stamp.  The lace is so fine, but it heat embosses beautifully  if you use a fine "detail "embossing powder.  I  didn't heat emboss it on this card, but I  just couldn't resist telling you this is a great stamp for heat embossing.  
 For this card I stamped the image onto white card stock and cut the image into strips 1  1/4 inches wide and mounted each strip onto a piece of black card  1  1/2 inches wide.  Then I glued one strip along the top of a tent fold card and the other  along the bottom. 
I stamped the greeting using a stamp from the Sincere Salutations stamp set from S.U.
The bow is made from black card.  I used the bow punch from Stampin' Up.

I may go a little quiet on here for a while.... I have got  a few of these to do  and I have a couple more projects on the go that require considerable amounts of time. But hopefully when I get  to updating my blog I will have lots to share with you all.
