Basic Grey Challenges Design Team - Doilies and Ribbons

This Card won Top 3 at Charisma Cardz!!

This week at Basic Grey Challenges we are challenging you to use doilies and ribbons on your creation. Pretty simple right?!!!

I had some scraps from Basic Grey's June Bug collection (My ALL-TIME FAVE Basic Grey paper). I was NOT going to throw any of it away, as now I am out of it all, and cant find it anywhere. (SAD, SAD Day!!!). Anyway, I wanted to make a bright and cheery card using the scraps I found in my stash, and here it is! I paired my papers up with this adorable Greeting Farm image, Creeper Piper. I also used my Tim Holtz Splatter stamp around the edges of the image and stamped in Friend Brick. I think they fit together perfectly! The sentiment is also The Greeting Farm, from the My Guy Ian stamp set. I stamped it then used my Doohickey Vintage Tag die yo cut it out. I tucked it behind the image on top of the doily to make it stand out.

I used my distressing tool on all the edges, and also distressed all my edges with Fried Brick and Walnut Stain Distress inks. I distressed the white paper doily with Vintage Photo to make it look old and match the papers a bit more.
I colored Piper with copics and Prismascolor Pencils.

Of course, I added Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I used cream aster daisies, red sweetheart blossoms, white 25mm roses which I painted with Scarlet Glimmer Mist, a dark blue 25mm roses, and a white Prima leaf which I sprayed with Olive Vine Glimmer mist. I also punched a butterfly from the design paper using the Martha Stewart Monarch punch.
I hope you will break out some of your Basic Grey papers and join us for our Doilies and Ribbons challenge.
