With Gratitude

I know, I said I wouldn't be posting until tomorrow but ya know, when the idea pops into my head I must obey it! CAS-ual Fridays has a fun little sketch this week and it is sponsored by The Craft's Meow!  After seeing Kryssi Ng's card with the doily, I knew what I wanted to make.  Luckily all the gear is packed and ready to go and I was able to bribe the child with TV.  What can I say, I was desperate.


Starting with half of a paper cake doily, I stamped a doily image using TCM's Simply Delightful...


Which I adhered to a Spring Moss panel that I embossed with my Linen & Canvas IP from Papertrey Ink and swiped some more SM ink around the edges.


Tied around some white embroidery floss and secured it to a white card base.


Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from Timeless Tags and added a few white pearls.

Okay, I am off to load up the stuff and have a bit of camping fun this weekend.  Have a great one my friend!  Oh, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your incredibly sweet and encouraging words.  You all are the best and I am so thankful to be apart of this community of caring friends!

--Lindsay

    Lyndsay, I love your idea to stamp a doily image inside the doily! I think your mojo has returned! Have a great weekend camping! When our boys were little, we often did the very same thing, and I know you're building priceless memories for your son.

    Lindsay, I love the warm simplicity of your card! The colors are soothing, the placement is just right, and those little pearls--you are just the best at non-linear pearl/rhinestone/button placement!

    Yummmm . . . another beautiful creation. Every detail is so delicious! I especially love the doily image stamped inside the doily and the lovely sponging on the edges - it adds some great dimension and interest. Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!! Hope you'll share your beautiful work with us again!
