WMSC#80-Dainty Doilies
I was so inspired yesterday by all the "sweet" goodness created for the Waltzingmouse Blog Party. It's not too late to check out some really cute cards and sweet treats. Here's a link. I especially loved the beautiful colors used by many of the entries. Today I made a card using one of my most recent favorite color combinations, gray and berry sorbet. Here is this weeks sketch on which I based by card:
Where as many people who used this sketch saw long paper strips, I saw smaller squares in this sketch.
I used patterned paper by Authentique, the Uncommon collection and used pinking shears to cut out the postage stamp patterned paper. I layered it onto some smokey shadow cardstock and another long strip of Authentique paper in a really pretty damask pattern for the center band. I used some dark peach velvet ribbon and some cream colored pom-pom ball trim. The doily is stamped with Waltzingmouse Stamps Dainty Doilies Large onto Authentique paper with gray ink. The sentiment is from Teeny Trees. I added a rose, a twine bow and some tiny pearls for a little bling. I love the vintage postal feel to this card. Thanks for taking a look!
