Hey, Hey! It's Friday Eve and I have a card to share with you today! It is inspired by M's Sketch #2. Of course I tweaked the sketch a bit to fit the elements that I decided to go with, but it follows the layout for the most part. This is my first time using a doily and I'm pleased with the way it turned out. I had no idea how to use them on cards, but thought they would be great paper embellishments. I'm sure they'll look great on some elegant themed cards too. I'll have to try that out later. This time, I made a fun card using bright colors that remind me of back-to-school. Does it to you? It's something about the yellow (which is the reverse side of the American Crafts patterned paper and reminds me of SU! crushed curry that I love) combined with the blue and red that screams back-to-school! The brown sort of throws it off I guess!
The winner of Sleigh Ride stamp set is Erika!

Not only do the primary colors look back-to-schoolish, but the brown does too...reminds me of little brown suede shoes that boys wear to school...annnnd the doily: I remember all sorts of crafts (always Valentines!) in school with those little doilies. What a fun card!
Love the card, Ashley! The doily, the rhinestones, the colors -- all terrific!
Super cute card Ashley! I love the doily.....I'm so into them right now. I buy them at the dollar store for a buck. There's a ton of them in 1 pack too! :)
It's also cool to spray paint them! Painting them makes them nice and stiff!
