Waltzingmouse Stamps February Blog Party


Hello!

Today is the monthly blog party at Waltzingmouse Stamps. This month's theme is doilies. Doilies are still showing up everywhere, which is great since I love to use them. For this month's party, I pulled inspiration from one of the first photos that I pinned on Pinterest.


Combined with that inspiration, I used the Dainty Doilies Large and Dainty Doilies 2, Small sets to create this card.


This card is really tall (8.5") but needed to be large enough to accommodate the design. It is always fun to make cards that vary from the normal size now and again.

The doilies were stamped onto Kraft cardstock in white ink and heat embossed with white detail powder. I die cut them all with the Big Scalloped Circles Lrg set from Spellbinders. I inked the edges of the doilies and then adhered them with a combination of double sided and foam dimensional adhesive. I opted to skip the sentiment - I really couldn't decide on a good place to put it, plus it lets the doilies take center stage.

I won't keep you any longer, I know that there are going to be a ton of fabulous creations in the party that you'll want to check out. So head over to the WMS Blog, be inspired, and get your doily on!
