potw: lovely lace

lace is one of my favorite things. so feminine and delicate.

and i think it's a nice textural element to bring to print pieces.

the two invitations pictured above mimic the texture of lace, while the two examples shown below marry the fabric and print worlds beautifully.

in fact, covering the back of an invitation entirely in lace has got to be one the best things i've seen in a while. for the right event, it adds a really special touch.

here, the designer has used it in place of traditional photo corners. so smart.

if you're not in the market for a printed invitation or announcement of some sort, there's always this little blue lace heart.
