For our Featured Stamper FS387 Nancy.
Nancy has a lovely and varied gallery with so many fun cards. I needed to make a birthday card and I saw this card: Proverbs 31:28 by nancyt at Splitcoaststampers
and I decided to make a doily card with some flourishes on it. My design is totally different. I picked up the yellow from her card and decided to go with it. My roses and back drop are made from the same polka dot paper. My leaves are from a group of water distressed leaves that I made as well as some open leaves from Marianne and the leaf swirl/flourish is MD also. Most of my design was Pinterest inspired. I added some distressing to the paper edges and a fun tag and the skinny leaf punch from Punch Bunch for balance. My doilies are not die cuts but ready made ones. My sentiment backing is from Memory Box. I haven't made any doily cards (except with my doily EF) so I had fun playing with them.
Nancy, enjoy your week of being Featured Stamper!
Thanks for taking a peek....

This is beautiful, from the gorgeous roses to the awesome water distress leaves! I have a beautiful Cheery Lynn doily die, but it's a monster to get it to cut all the way through, - I don't think I've ever used it. Premade doilies would definitely be the way to go for me, unless I can find a die cut machine that can stand up to massive amounts of shimming and give me a clean cut.

Oh, Peggy, this is STUNNING! I love your amazing floral arrangement with the exquisite flowers and beautiful greens! I really love those open leaves from MD (some of my favorite delicate dies). And the doilies add so much against the polka dots (who doesn't LOVE polka dots?). I can see why it was FAVE'd multiple times. Not sure how I missed this one, but what a lovely card for Nancy as FS! Hugs, sweet friend!
