It's Waltzingmouse Blog Party time and I'm arriving fashionably late! The theme for the party is doilys, so at least that narrows down the stamp sets. I left my card until the last minute (despite knowing the theme for the last 17 days) and sat down last night with a complete loss of crafty mojo. Wouldn't it be lovely if there was a crafting equivalent of Viagra? If anyone would like to sell me some please drop me a line...
As you can see, I've used the Dainty Doiles (small) set for this one. I've embossed the smallest doily in white, on a piece of kraft cardstock, cut a hole in the side and then stamped one in black underneath. The sentiment is from the Frame It set and the patterned paper is actually a doily themed piece from October Afternoon.
Well, I'm all doilied out this week but I'm looking forward to having a peep at what everyone else has come up with! Thanks for stopping and double thanks if you make time to leave a comment!
Cheers,

I certainly can't detect an absence of mojo!! I think this is super. I love the white doilies on kraft with the detail of the black doily and button! Love the sentiment across the bottom.
ReplyDeleteOh Claire I think it's such a lovely card in these warm colors! I especially love fun layout with the little space cut out for the doily And what a sweet way to stamp the sentiment! PS...Crafty Viagra, heeee :)
ReplyDeleteYou sure started my day with a chuckle!!! Your cardis delightful! I love the button doily cut-out! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteAwesome design, Clare. What a fun way to accent the doily/button design with that cut out. So very clever!
ReplyDeleteLove the design and the cutout with button!! I need some crafty Viagra too....you made me smile!!

ReplyDeleteThat cutout with the offset doily...
I'm borrowing that!
And if anyone responds to having some crafting Viagra...
please let them know I would also be interested! :)
Oh my, I am worried about the spam you will get now that you mentioned the V word in a post! This is a terrific card. Love the cut out for the mini-doily and button. I like all that white space with the sentiment running along the bottom, too!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! White embossing is always fab. And your little cut out window frames your doily/button accent beautifully! I think your mojo was definitely present and accounted for. :-)
ReplyDeleteI always love it when something fits perfectly into an aperture Claire and your button and twine is really eye-catching. Lol about the crafting V - I could go for some of that too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! Love the colors and your cut out doily window . The large button and twine were a perfect touch as well!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you used Claire - and that fun cut out!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you used and the fun cut out for your button. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I hear you Claire, I often have that exact problem, but it looks like you won out, your card is lovely! I binned several of mine before making one I was prepared to show....Thank you so much for playing along with us at WMS!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, especially the cut-out: it adds such a nice focal point!
