Trio of Cards...and Colors!

I was itching to make some doily cards today but knew my time would be very limited so I opted for very simple cards.  I really like the results though!  Here is my finished set of cards.


Aren't those bright colors just yummy!! Oh my!! I am so in love with this new Royal Velvet purple cardstock!!


This was the first card in the set that I made.  I didn't get my doilies perfectly lined up, but for a first second attempt it wasn't totally awful so I went with it!  I used 3 doily stamps.  The tiniest one is stamped on the Hawaiian Shores cardstock and the the flower is adhered to it.  I wanted to hang a little piece over the edge of the card again as I like the element that that adds to a card.


Here is doily card #2.  Again, the doily isn't perfect but usable! :)  I didn't stamp this one quite as far off the side as the one above so more of the doily fills the card.  I kept with the same simple design though.  Isn't that twine on the side so cute!! I love it!


And, finally, here is doily card #3.  My middle doily is way off center but hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon.  I used Champagne VersaMark to stamp the doilies on all of these cards and I love how it has a soft subtle glitter to it!! To match that I sprayed some clear glimmer mist on my twine to add a little shine and let it dry.   It is just a very subtle glitter look and next time I'll probably add another coat or two to make it more noticeable.

Well, time to get supper ready!  Have a great day!!  Thanks for stopping by!

I think you did a great job using this set Jen. It does seem to have a bit of a learning curve to it, but you seem to have it all figured out. The colors are wonderful and the sparkly versamark was just the right ink to use on these beauties.
