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.
