Hi everyone, Julie here hosting the blog today.
I thought
this week I would showcase how versatile our doilies can be in making beautiful
accents and patterns on our craft projects.
The Anastasia border matches the Kiwi doily die perfectly
so are great to use together, especially when making a real feature with them,
like I am doing with this card.
On the opening of my card you will see the border strips,
I love the lace effect. You will also see my doily cut into corners and halved.
I matted and layered onto papers.
My flowers were made by cutting them out in same pale
green card stock as the swirls and background but I stamped a little gesso onto
them and rubbed the edges too with gesso before making them up, to give a
shabby feel.
The inside of my card compliments the outside and I
embellished with a few pearls to finish.
Cheery Lynn dies used:
- DL108 Kiwi Spirit Doily
- B136 Anastasia Border
- B387 Tiny Fanciful Flourish Left & Right
- XL-2 Square Scalloped
- B433 Gardenia Small
- L-7 Oval Classics
Thanks for stopping by today to see my card and Good Luck
to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.
Happy crafting this weekend and I'll see you all next Saturday.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card! Love how you've made your flowers, I may have to give that a try!!!
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteFabulous card. Great idea on splitting the doily. You've done a great job.
A really beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteProbably the most beautiful Cheery Lynne has even displayed. Not overdone with embellishments like most projects are. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your artistic talent..
I'd love to see more clean and simple projects that we could make & tweak!
