I wanted to take this opportunity to show you a card I created prior to my recent eye surgery, using a stamp set illustrated by Nina Brackett for The Crafts Meow.
The set is called 'Simply Delightful' - and it certainly lives up to its name! This set is fabulous for masculine cards as well as those girly ones we love to make.
I have embossed the doily and sentiment with Stampin' Up Gold Embossing Powder and sponged around the edges, the other colours on the doily have been added with my Blender Pens, I have not even added any medium as I am naughty and did not clean them the last time I used them - so there was enough colour for this project - that has to be good - right!?!? LOL!
I have tucked in some pleated paper, left over from the edges of and old hymnal, underneath the sentiment. I have been holding onto the gorgeous textured DP for some time, it is from my dear friend Priscilla. I love the softness of it against the striped, torn Stampin' Up DP.

~A really lovely card. Thank you so much for joining us in our first challenge at Paper Creator Crafts this week! Hugs, Karen. (Head DT.)x
ReplyDeleteGreat way to reserve medium resources, hee hee. The way you've colored this reminds me of a Mandala, which I love to color, rather than a doily. Maybe you could say they are really one in the same! Great way to use a doily image for a man.
ReplyDeleteA great card Linda, love the colours. Thanks for joining us at Little Claire's.
