Stenciled Doily

Yesterday's weather was so wild and windy that I simply hid away in my craft room.  It brought to mind the story of the 3 Little Pigs.....and I was very glad to be living in a house made of bricks!  So, first I did some badly needed tidying, but than I actually made a card that wasn't for a DT.


This is one of my new Saturated Canary images, and I've found a few challenges to play along with.  I needed to use a doily, but of course I've gone the long road around....making mine with a stencil on a pretty DP from Wild Rose Studio!  You will see it's been made with glitter pen, then gussied up with clear gems and DI.  The card blank is embossed with polka dots, sponged first with DI (iced spruce), and then with gesso for a nice soft effect.  Oh, and the sentiment is a freebie from Netty's Cards, while the flowers are from my stash.

We are heading out today, to meet up with my girls for coffee!  Hopefully the weather behaves.  Be sure to come back tomorrow, when I'll have a post for the Just Inklined blog hop!
