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.

Creeper Piper

Introducing...... "Creeper Piper"

Creeper Piper will release on Friday, July 1st along with the other AMAZING releases at 12:01 am CST during our DT blog hop. Dont you just LOVE her??!!! She is just so sassy, love her! She might be favorite image of this release, her attitude just makes me smile! LOL

I used Prima Moulin Rouge papers for this card, they are so dark yet vibrant, I thought they matched Sassy Piper very well. I also used some cream silk ribbon and bow, and added a purple button to the center of the bow with a pearl in the middle to set it off. The swirl behind the image panel is a Doohickey die. I edged everything with Vintage Photo distress ink.
I colored Piper with copics.

I added some Wild Orchid flowers to the card as well. I used a two-toned Magenta 25mm rose, vintage green cherry blossoms, cream aster daisies, and some Recollections leaves which I sprayed with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist. I added a pearl stick pin which matches the card colors perfectly!!
