I just have to say that this card makes me happy! I love the crisp yellow colors (better in real life than in the photo) and the stamped rose popped up above the pretty green leaves. And the lace, it was a gift from my friend Melisa, and has the most wonderful texture. I don't really know how to describe it -- sort of like a soft fluffy felt. I used the Colored Embossing Folder technique for the Swiss Dots background. This reminds me of a dress my mother made me when I was young that was yellow with white dots!! The panel was not quite large enough so I added some yellow and white striped paper behind that just peeks out at the top and the bottom -- love the stripes with the dots!
I will be entering my card in the Flourishes Noon Time Challenge from yesterday, to use lace on a card. Also for Sugar Creek Hollow's challenge for a floral project in a primitive, vintage or shabby chic style.
Have a wonderful day everyone!

So pretty--yellow is such a happy color!
So pretty! Love the yellow rose!
Beautiful, Betty! I love yellow, and don't know why I don't use it more often! Thanks for sharing - sorry it took me so long to get here :)
Betty,
This yellow rose holds special memories for me. They were my daughters favorite and always make me smile. So pretty with the yellow and white swiss dots you made.
Is that the pretty Yellow Rose of Texas. I love all the yellow and I never thought to do that technique with the Dotted Swiss embossing folder. I love it. Your card is gorgeous.
Great card...we both seem to be getting in the same challenges. I can feel the texture of that lace ...captured well in your photo.
Is that GKD"s Rose by Melanie?
Yellow roses are my favorite and your design is beautiful...your lace is gorgeous and you can see the fluffiness of it. Thanks for sharing your technique and card with us at Sugar Creek Hollow.
Hugs...Patti SCH/DT
Betty this is so pretty! Love the soft yellow and the strip of striped DP at the top and bottom.
Very pretty. Your rose is so cheerful in yellow and wonderful lace. Thanks for playing in Flourishes challenge.
I forgot to leave you some love when I spied this yesterday - I did the one above it but meant to say this is a just stunning! The yellow is a bright, beautiful burst of color that just makes this card pop! I'm SO GLAD you are a Crafter of Faith with us! Blessings to you, sweet sister!
