It’s time for a new WMS Blog Party!! I’ve been waiting for this one to happen, for the theme is DOILIES which you must know I love with all my Chupish heart…
Besides, I’m gearing up behind the scenes, for my first gig as a newly fledged WMS DT member and this is such a nice warm-up. Tee hee!
It’s so my style, to reach for several sets at a time, especially while creating with Waltzingmouse. The sets often fit together beautifully, regardless of being part of a larger theme group or not.
First up, I used Dainty Doilies 2 set, to go with the theme. I stamped them on SU! Sahara Sand, with either Pumice Stone Distress Ink or with Versamark and white embossed.
Added to the background, were the pine branches and berries from Festive Foliage.
The antique lamp and leaves from Bright Season, was stamped in HA Soft Granite Shadow Ink and ColorBox Ice Jade, and shaded with Copics. I used various Memento inks for the rest.
The sentiment comes from A Cottage Christmas, and was stamped on the Ribbon Banner Shapeabilities die cut.
I distressed the edges and inked them white. The burlap DP underneath belongs to the Glitz Design French Kiss paper pad.
The embellishments include lace, pearls and a Prima bloom/leaves.
Here’s the inspiration behind this card, click on the graphics to be taken to the relevant challenges:
