Mod Squad Challenge and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

I made this little 4 inch square card using a doily and background paper that I recently got in a grab bag. I sponged the doily with distressed inks and cut out some of the flowers and leaves that were in the background paper.  On the top and bottom of the doily, is part of a die called Bookmark Tag from PTI.  I sponged that with copper 3D paint.  Added some twine colored to match and small blue pearls for the berries.  The greeting is from a Flourishes Stamp set.  Unfortunately retired. 
 
I am entering this card in the Mod Squad Challenge.  Donna Phelan is the hostess this week and she has decided that we go to Grandma's Attic and use a doily.

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Thinking of You, a dedication to the service men and women who have given their lives in the line of duty.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comments.

  1. Oh WOW your doily is gorgeous, I love how it looks! LOVE how you used that Designer Paper to make such a statement! The colors and images are so rich and full of texture! Great die. That twine bow looks perfect and the addition of the 'blue berries' is quite clever! (I think your sentiment is my motto!) Ha! Thanks so much for joining me in the Challenge at The Mod Squad Blog!

  4. Oh, man! Somehow I missed a whole bunch of your posts. I wasn't getting notification that you had posted here - same thing with a couple other people I follow. Now I'm getting them again, so that's good. I wondered why you weren't posting anything...lol. Love what you did with the "grab bag" items. Great idea to use that die cut as a doily, you are a GENIUS my dear. I love the colors too, great use of that patterned paper. This is a really pretty card!!!

  8. Oh Barbara, this is AMAZING!! I love how you used copper paint to sponge the die cuts and used blue pearls for berries. Your flowers are just sumptuous and I would love too know how you made them. Thank you very much for visiting my blog and leaving your heartfelt comment on the peacock card for Lauren.
