So Simple Doily









SUPPLIES:

stamps - hello doily, sincere salutations
ink - sahara sand, pretty in pink, espresso
cardstock - primrose petals, whisper white
accesories - primrose petals ribbon, itty bitty punches, pearl rhinestones

Inked the entire hello doily stamp with sahara sand, then inked the edges with pretty in pink before stamping.

Embossed Doily


First masked off the sponged area - sponged in pumpkin pie, rich razzleberry, elegant eggplant. Stamped doily in elegant eggplant on top; embossed with fancy fan folder. Added itty bitty flower punch, itty bitty banner stamped in pumpkin pie. Card is primrose petals.

So Many Smiles

SUPPLIES:

stamps - delicate doilies, petite pairs, french foliage (dots)
ink - crumb cake, cajun craze, always artichoke, espresso
paper - crumb cake, whisper white, rust
accessories - itty bitty punches, mini brads, corner rounder


The idea for this card was to create a card without using the Big Shot. When I teach classes at the library, we do two cards and inevitably, everyone ends up waiting for the Big Shot. So I decided to do one card that emphasizes embossing folders and diecuts, and another that doesn't require the use of the Big Shot at all!
