The challenge from Bah Humbug this week is to use 'doilies'. I have got some paper doilies somewhere but they were not punched very well so I put them to one side. Now if I could remember which side - I would have used one for this challenge! Instead - I took a photo of a crocheted doily and made it into an embellishment in Craft Artist. I shrunk it down to make the little embellishments top right too. The bp and blue matting behind it were also done in Craft Artist. After I had printed the design off I printed the doilies again so I could layer them up. The hearts were also from a digikit, cut out and sprayed with glitter spray. It's finished off with ribbon from my stash. Dull and overcast here today so the piccie's not as sharp as I'd like it - but I'm out all day tomorrow so it will have to do.
Thanks very much for visiting today

OMWord Beryl - how talented you are - I wouldn't know where to begin with this digi kind of altering. The doily is amazing, and I love the gingham hearts. A really beautiful Xmas card (and one less to make in December)!!

You are nothing if not inventive Beryl, you've done a grand job on them doilies and I see you've used the same backing papr as I did so you must have the one I used in there somewhere!

Just for future reference Beryl I've just gone hunting again and the doilie is actually a frame in paper forest if you have that kit.

My jaw has just dropped down to my chest in absolute shock at how clever you have been on this card Bery...
'I took a photo of a crocheted doily and made it into an embellishment in Craft Artist.'
oh my I didn't know you could do that and doesn't it work well?
I may be coming to you for lessons on this.
Your card is just fantastic - really stunning as well as being clever.

That's great Beryl
How clever to photograph the doilie. It looks great with those gingham hearts. Hope you enjoyed your day out today. The weather is certainly better that yesterday isn't it.

P.S. Our Hellebores are just showing colour, you must be a bit warmer than us. They look like they're going to be good though.
super card, i love the country feel, one of my fav styles. janex
Beryl,
Your idea of taking a picture of a real crocheted doily and then using it in a large format, and then shrinking it for the embellies was brilliant! I also love those stunning hearts! They say "Necessity is the mother of invention" and you certainly proved it with this card which is beautiful!
Love, Martha
Love it, love it, love it. What a pretty card. Hugs Rita xx
Beautiful Beryl, love the hearts and great idea for the doily.
