A set of cards

Apologies for all the old and retired products used on these cards.  I promise there will be some new things soon.  

Actually, this set is still current.  Delicate Doilies has a set of four stamps all designed to look a little like lace doilies that your grandmother used to have.  The card was part of a set of 10cm cards I made a while ago to give away as a gift.  

Can you see where I stuffed up on the flower card?  I managed to get a little bit of ink on the side of the stamp which ruined the whole thing.    Isn't it the way that when you do stuff up it's usually about the last thing you had to do.  

 

 I thought I had more in the set, but can't find the others.  Mustn't have photographed them.  

Delicate Doilies Part 2

Hope you are all enjoying your Easter weekend.  We had a spectacular storm last night with lots of lightning and very heavy rain, about 35 mls, and this morning it is beautiful and sunny with a cool breeze.  Apparently we may have another storm tonight too. 

Over the weekend I had another play with the Delicate Doilies stamp set and below are two new cards to show you.  

The blue card is embossed in silver and parts of the main circle have been coloured in using Marina Mist and Lucky Limeade.  Have matted both pieces with some silver cardboard I found in the cupboard. And to finish off have added a bit of bling in the centre of the circle. 

Even though pink if not my favourite colour, I don't mind this card.  I have a stack of ribbon stashed away, both SU and non-SU, so this was a good way to use some up.  The background  has been stamped with Melon Mambo and Whisper White on Melon Mambo cardstock.  The bottom layer of the motif has been inked in Pretty in Pink and the top layer embossed in white and sponged with Pretty in Pink ink with pearls added this time. 

Delicate Doilies

Delicate Doilies is a stamp set I fell in love with when I first saw it, although I haven't really used it as much as it deserves.  There are also beautiful Flirtatious Designer Series Papers to match, and for those who enjoy sewing, there are three fabrics available as well.  

These two cards are very similar in design and use  the Flirtatious papers in Melon Mambo and Wisteria Wonder.  The top motif has been stamped in VersaMark and embossed in white embossing powder.
