I started by punching a border at the edge of a tall card, then also onto parchment paper. I layered the parchment paper over the top of the card and wrapped around, only glueing at the back so the front stays free. I then glued another piece of the parchment paper behind the punched edge of the card to make it stand out more. I used some patterned paper which matched the colour of the card and the parchment and punched into three squares. I then glued only the centre of these to the card. Again, so the lace edge stays free. I used some outline stickers for the sentiments, giving some contrast by colouring a couple red.

Card Makin' Mamas Challenge #69 | PUNCHES
This challenge is to create a card using punches. I've chosen to use just one, as it's so versatile (X-Cut Multi-Shaper Punch - Lace).
