Speedy the Cat Friends Challenge #57 - Ivory and Lace

Welcome to Speedy the Cat's Friends challenge.  This week we have been challenged to use ivory and lace.  Ivory and lace = shabby chic to me so that is what I tried here - not my style though I love to look at shabby chic cards.  My lace is the lacy scallop border punch.  All the cardstock that I used is ivory 140# weight card stock from Mark's Finest Papers - awesome cardmaking paper!  The two circular die cuts are from Marianne Designs Createables.  I stamped the magnolia from MFP's Magnolia Wedding and cut it out and popped it up.  The patterned paper is from Prima.
Now it is your turn to create a new card using ivory and lace and link it directly to InLinkz on Mark's Finest Papers blog for a chance to win a new stamp set.  If you use MFP stamps you will be entred twice!
Thanks for coming by!
