I started with this card which used just less than half of one of the doilies. I started with a large aqua envelope and I created a white card to fit inside. Next, I cut a light aqua layer for the front just slightly smaller and used the piece of doily as a stencil sponging on aqua ink on the right hand side. I really liked how that looked. I started layering pieces on the left hand side to create layers on my card. I ended up with a piece of plastic trimmed from a commercial card that has a white doily pattern, my piece of teal doily, some blue foil and then a piece of silver foil. After auditioning all the pieces I glued them to my layer one at a time and added the final white doily piece using two silver brads which I applied through all the layers. I glued this large layer to my white card front and then worked on some embellishments. I found a stamped and embossed greeting in my stash which coordinated nicely, added a navy blue layer, tuck it under the white doily layer and adhered it to my card front. I found these light aqua floral paper sequins in my stash, sponged their edges with the same ink I used to stencil and then adhered them to my card front nicely arranged near the greeting. To finish off, I added clear rhinestones to the centers of the flowers. It was a challenge to use this colour in that it was quite dark. I am happy with how this one turned out. Therese
