Get out those lace punches

Today I am sharing a layout with you that puts all of those lace punches you have in your stash to good use!  We all have them, some look like doilies others are in the form a boarder punch.

When I think of lace punches I think of a feminine - girly look and this muted floral paper from the Pure Bliss Collection was my first pick to start this layout!  I cut it down to about 10x10 and distressed the edges and then took different boarder punches and randomly punched on all 4 sides.

 

I used even more lacy punches to created a the thick strip in the middle of my layout.  I topped that off with a few boarded strips form the Pure Bliss collection - these strips are great, so many uses for them and they come in such a variety of patterns and styles.

I just love how this layout turned out!  I never thought of lacy punches with a distressed look but I really love how this turned out!
