WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A DOILY

Now, Forgive the overkill on this one, but i have done this purely for demonstration purposes only.

I have been asked so many times... How do you use Doilies on a card? and what can you do with them other than stick them on?

So here is a little demonstration of what and how.

I have taken a plain 8" x 8" card and used a 6.5" round Doily.

I used the Doily as a stencil and using a distress ink pad and a cotton ball, dabbed the ink which has given the lovely mottle effect.

I also used distress ink to colour the edges of the Doily and the rose pattern.

I cut the center of a doily out and flattened it to use it as a lace border trim on the bottom of the card.

On the right hand corner i again used part of the doily as a stencil and glittered it, and on the left side i heat embossed a part of the Doily in gold to look like a metal corner.

The center Doily is coloured using my Distress inks and stickled with gold  following the embossed design on the Doily.

I will add a few more Idea's later on, but this was a quickie to demonstrate a few ways to use Doilies on your cards.

Above is a Doily that has been heat embossed in Silver, you still have all the fine detail.
