And when adding them with other Embellishments it can make them even more grand.

It can be bought in many colours and patterns and it is even posible to alter the colour of some with your inks or marker pens.

This enables you to colour match it to the theme of your card for a truly co-ordinated look.

It doesn't need to cost a fortune either.

All these pieces came in metre length bundles for about 50p, from the local market.

And a metre (1') can go a long way, as only small amounts are used on any one card.

Here it has been added to a Decoupaged flower panel.

Add some strong double sided tape to the back of the panel and then attach the lace by pressing it hard onto the tape.

Gather a little extra at each of he corners so that it lies flat.

Then when it is added to the front of the card it makes a really pretty frame.

Another choice is "Rafia Lace" that can be bought in craft shops.

Add it horizontally or vertically to your cards.

I like to layer mine onto a stiffer card panel first, with some double sided tape along each edge at the back of the panel.

This will hold the lace in postion as you add it to your card.

The extras have been kept low key, as Buttons are always a good choice for boys.

The mottled blue panel is created using this technique.



Whichever you decide to use depends on the type of card you are going to make, but rememeber it can make such a difference to them.

Add bits to your "Statsh" on a regular basis, as you never know when it will come in handy.
