Delicate Doilies


Sunday, May 5, 2013

I just returned from four rainy days at Amelia Island, FL.  My plans to relax, walk on the beach, and attend the Shrimp Festival were not what God had in mind.  I now know how Noah felt on the ark.  

I was very happy to be able to work in my craft room today.  I needed to make a birthday card for a special friend, so this is what I created.

The card was created using Midnight Muse cardstock (126843). 
Cut the base 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and score on 4 1/4 using the Stampin' Trimmer (126889).  The second layer is Summer Starfruit cardstock (126839) and the top layer is Whisper White cardstock (100730).  I used the Delicate Doilies Stamp Set (122592) Clear and (128541) Wood.  I used Midnight Muse ink (126860), Summer Starfruit ink (126991) and Gumball Green ink ( 126861) to stamp the different doilies.  I then embossed the white layer using the Fancy Fan embossing folder (127751) and the Big Shot machine (113439).  I stamped a Midnight Muse doily on scrap paper and punched it out using the 2 1/2 inch Circle Punch (120906) and popped it using Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).  I stamped Happy Birthday using the new Hostess set Banner Greetings (129714) Clear (129711) Wood in Gumball Green Ink. You can earn this stamp set if you host a party for Stampin' Up! I used Stampin' Dimensionals on the banner, too.  I added a few Pearls (119247) on the doilies.  https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdkSbCXVIrwyGtfKr5GMCBKudZacYZxoiQLml0LnWmWyrgjR5vi2TfKVlrcaTUIaw6mlabSwSA71wESdVeCrNlxywcFPR_80Ess8-hQAVfvoHmMvf2WtvvOeDG1AaVMUyxHbatUfK1W9I/s1600/IMG_1721.JPG




On the inside of the card, I used Whisper White cardstock (126843) and stamped random doilies.  I also stamped the sentiment from Vintage Verses (129636) a stamp set from Sale-A-Bration.

Happy Stamping!
Hugs,
Claire
