Measure from left side in 2 1/2" and cut this portion off. Glue this piece to the mauve card front. Cut an 8" piece of lace ribbon and place over seam wrapping ends to the back and gluing in place. Glue this to card base. Cut one fancy flourish from the Cut Mat Create die out of orchid cardstock and fit over right edge of square. Glue the square in place matching up to right side of cut out space. Cut two 6" pearl strips and glue one on right, and one on left sides of card front. Coat the charm with Gesso. Sand off a bit when dry. Make a small double lace bow attaching charm to knot and glue bow in place as shown.
