When I was a young bride MANY years ago, my husband in the Air Force was sent overseas for eight or nine months. We wrote every day because it seemed to help the loneliness. This is a card I will send to Operation Write Home for that purpose.
This month I'm a guest designer for Perfect Sentiments. Our first challenge for June is called Lacy Romance. We are being sponsored by MelJen's Designs.
I used the Heart Strings Parasol from MelJen's Designs. One of the fun things about their designs is the little dots across the design. I used Bitty Pearls at the tips of the parasol and pink and red Bitty Sparkles on the other dots. I stacked a red lacy ribbon on top of the white lace and used a lacy diecut as a frame for my image. I typed my own sentiment using Microsoft Word. I thought this image was open to interpretation, so I chose one for the Service Men and Women for writing home to a loved one. It would also be great for a wedding or baby shower with the words "Showered in Love." Have fun coming up with your lacy romantic card and sentiment!
