Build a Doily....Part 2

Ok, I really can't stop now!  I am having soo much fun making my own doilies!!  I had some more time yesterday to make more.  For this card.....I used one of my favorite color combinations.
Used lots of elements on this one and thus took me a bit more time to complete (not the doily but the
rest of the card!).  Once you get started making a doily, it really comes together pretty quick!


Here's what stamp sets the elements came from to make my doily:
Borders and Corners:  Circles---inner double ringed circle, flower image in inner circle, and scallops
Guidelines Two---center medallion
Simply Stationery---image surrounding the center medallion and images in scallops
Tea For Two Additions---"enjoy" stamp

I wanted to use my Morroccan Motifs impression plate again and I thought why not use that tiny image from Tea For Two Additions inside the impressions!  It fit perfectly!  I inked up that impressed strip with Chamomile ink so that the impressed areas showed up a bit more.  I finished up with more wrinkle ribbon from etsy and tied on a tea cup and a Simply Chartreuse shanked button.  I did want to mention that I colored on my center brad with some copics to darken it a bit as it was a "gold" color before.


Seriously, you may not have seen the last of the doilies from me! 
I'm kinda liking the vintagy look too!

  4. Amy, this is another great doily card. I love the details they all go together perfectly.
    I met up with friends today and made some doilies on scrap paper. They were also crafting, but some how I don't know if they truly understand ;)

  16. So pretty! I have yet to give making my own doilies a try. I have a couple doily stamps and would probably just as soon use them before trying to make my own. Thanks for showing that it IS possible and can look absolutely amazing!
