Doily Butteflies

Another fabulous  Friday Challenge at Frosted Designs - Sketch + Doilies, not only to dash your available doilies but also use this amazing sketch by Brenshevia

Sketch + Doilies

Frosted Designs

 

 

And here's my take

 

 

  use doilies as stencil, apply gesso, let it dry completely

 

  use spray ink to add interest

 

 fold in half

 

 use piece of patterned paper from stash to alter the 

                                                 clothespin

 Lace doily through the gap in the clothespin and gently

                                                 bunch up the remaining bit of doily to create the wings

Nanaimo Visit 2012

Instead of double pager layout, I decided to try different approach for this one. I honestly don't know how to call this  but my inspiration is from a wedding invitation.

For Club CK - ISSUE Challenge #5 - Mar/Apr 2013

 

 

 

 

 

Cover

 

I used this --->

 

as my stencil.This is actually from pizza box. Instead of putting the pizza directly on the box, our favorite pizza parlor use this to keep the pizza crust "crispy". Mist with Dylusion ink - lemon zest and cut grass color. Twine and wooden buttons - Michaels; chipboard letter - Basic Grey 

 

 

 

 

 

I used masking tape to attach sides patterned paper, doodled dots and lines to get "spiral notebook" effect.
