Save your lunch doily

Hello Friends, Well I guess you can only save your lunch doily IF they serve you with one. At National Airport  I had time to sit down and have a salad before my airplane took off. Under my veggies was this beautiful doily. If the waitress wasn’t so busy I would have asked her for a few extra. Now I wish I had been more patient to score more of these dainty doilys!

I created this for Simon Says Stamp Challenge this week which is “Mother’s Day, Girlie with Basic Grey” Here is the blog link to see what the talented DT has created. Don’t forget a random winner is selected each week for a $50.00 gift certificate!! So generous!

Mothers Day
The first thing I did was distress the white doily with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I glued it on some blue paper and added some white lines with my fav gel pen and some pearls to the outside. The center papers are Basic Grey called “Hopscotch” . I love the cross word pattern on the upside down flower pot and decided to add some shading on the paper with this brown Copic maker. (others are listed in the supplies at the bottom of my post) To color the hedgehog from Penny Black I used Copic markers.

Mothers Day

The center of the flower is a new thing for me and I thrilled with it. I mixed two Flower Soft colors. This and this one and expect to see lots more of this. Just a warning.

I have some exciting news!!!!!!! When I was looking for my flower soft link I found my magic scissors herethat I have been searching for ONE YEAR (because I need a spare) !!!!!!!!!!!! Once you get use to them they will change your life…or rather how you cut!!!! I just ordered THREE MORE!! YAY this is big news for me and just had to share with you!!

If you are interested I have three different cards that I made with this Penny Black transparent set called “Wonderful Day” Here, here & here.
Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy

    What a cute idea with the doily Kathy. I hope you don’t mind but I’m going to CASE the design. And I almost bought the PB set today… I will be heading back to get it I think after seeing your lovely cards.

    Love what you did with this doily, and thanks for that link for the scissors…..I’ll be needing to replace a tiny set that is going dull and can’t be sharpened – these look to fit the bill! Hugs, sista!

    LOL! The first thing I thought when I saw your post title was, “My family never eats that clean in order to salvage those things!” Hehe. LOVE your sweet card, so adorable!

    You are soo darned talented! I once saw some gorgeous doilies, and asked for some. They were only too happy to give me a few extra different ones, too. Yay me!
    Now you’ve inspired me (yet again!) to make something of them.
    Thanks Kathy!

    Very cute. I just bought some doilies after Valentines Day. I plan to CAS your design and try using the Distress inks and some cute Penny Black hedgehogs! I just love these little creatures.

    This is the cutest little card! I love the hedgie, your coloring skills are amazing! Very cute how you paper-pieced the pot. I think that your white accents and pearls on the doily also ‘make’ the card. Thanks for sharing your story about the doily. 🙂 I am interested to try those scissors…

    Doilies are one of my obsessions. I collect them either in stamps,paper, from “lunch” you name it. Love your card and will check my stash so I can use your inspiration to make my own “doily” card. Thanks for sharing!
