Lavender Lace Wedd/Anniv Card

Created this Wedding/Anniversary Card using Lavender colors & Lavender Lace. I did not have any Lavender Lace so I used white lace and colored it with Tim Holtz Distress Ink shaded lilac (one of the new Summer colors). Used a new punch, ek tools Layer Butterfly, that I bought today at JoAnns. Staz On ink indicates it is for coated paper and I was happy with my stamping on front of card in which I used coated, shiny lavender cardstock. Added hearts to both front & inside. Stamped a sentiment on inside as well.

Photographed with my Victoria Secret lavender garter from my wedding. I had a garter that was thrown by my hubby since I wanted to keep the pretty lavender one.
