Dear Doily
Happy cold Saturday! Hope you have had a fantastic day in spite of the cold. I spent my day at a ballet performance for my granddaughter. She had one of the lead parts and I almost missed it. Simply forgot it until my son called, “Mom you do remember today is Hannah’s performance.” I would have been a bad Gran if that had happened. I was off making cards, so had to rush to get there. 
Really, really simple easy card for today. Directions will be really short as it is so simple. There is the card base and mat which are Coastal Cabana and the main mat which is a panel from the Brights 6’ x 6” Designer Series Paper. The smaller mat for the doily is from the How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper. The mats are embossed using the Subtle TIEF. The doily is cut using a die from the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies. 
The doily is cut and the inside white space is stamped with the greeting and then placed back in the center of the doily it was taken from. All the layers are adhered using Liquid Glue. A bow is made using Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine. Three Glitter Enamel Dots in various sizes are adhered to the Coastal Cabana and Melon Mambo striped panel, two are placed on the doily. That’s the front finished.
The inside panel is stamped with a doily in Coastal Cabana and Melon Mambo that has been stamped off first and then stamped on the panel. The sentiment is then stamped over the doily in Memento Black ink. 
That’s the card for today. Hope you like it and find encouragement and inspiration for your own creation.

It is amazing what you can make with scraps. Thank you
The little piece of grill looking texture behind the hummingbird is from the Hummingbird Framelites Dies and is adhered using Liquid Glue. The greeting is stamped in Balmy Blue on a scrap of Balmy card stock, Old Olive and White Twine is wrapped around the greeting piece a few time and tied in a bow then popped on the background piece using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. 
Three sequins have been adhered under the greeting. The Humming Along hummingbird (don’t you just love that bird) is then popped over the greeting panel. Several sequins are scattered over the background piece.
The inside sentiment from the Seasoned with Kindness stamp set is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White that has a Balmy Blue watercolor wash in the center.
I then used a stamp from the Timeless Textures stamp set to give a little texture to the background the rose would be popped on. The rose was stamped using Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Thick card stock. I then colored the rose using Stampin’ Write Marker in Real Red and Pear Pizzazz. It was then fussy cut. 
The rose was then popped onto the Whisper White panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is from the Petal Palette stamp set and is stamped at the bottom in Real Red ink below the Graceful Garden rose. Three Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels were popped on the card at the top and the bottom.
A small rose from the Graceful Garden stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink in the lower right corner of the sentiment panel. It is then colored using Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Pear Pizzazz Stampin’ Write Markers. It is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
