Thanks so much to my friend Pat/contrapat who sent me some beautiful stamped images, because when I saw today's WT challenge of Pearls I knew I'd be using one of the images! Creamy silk gloves and pearls just go together, don't you think? The bg is Alcohol ink allowed to run under a doily and then drops of Pearl mixative added while the doily is still in place on the Yupo. Then the doily was removed and the Yupo tilted to let the inks run. Then the doily set back on and I went over some of the open spaces with blender fluid on felt to remove some of the ink. Lace wrapped around and taped in back, and a spray of pearl stickers on the left. I fussy cut the glove image, cut the thumb part farther in and tucked in a spray of lovely floral stickers. Oh yes, and bent the fingers a little bit. Viola! TFL

I knew this challenge would be right up your street. The doily-print effect is absolutely fabulous. Love the layering of lace and pearls, and the flower spray tucked into the gloves. I remember we had some white kid elbow-length gloves of my grandmother's in our dressing-up box, a much coveted article. Wish I still had them!!

Gorgeous background, Kandie! The gloves, lace, and pearls are perfect for creating this very nostalgic, vintage design! Love the idea of using the doily as a mask. Beautiful card!

Oh I remember gloves like these. I use to wear them to church as a little girl, my Mom too. That was back when everyone wore hats to church too.

The alcohol inked bg and doily are the perfect backdrop for the elegant gloves and flowers! The lace and pearl edging finish off the look of vintage elegance! Beautiful!
