using paper doilies

[kkccmom]

Has anyone ever used, or know where I can get some ideas for using, PAPER DOILIES?? I picked up a pk at the store recently, thinking there HAD to be some creative use for them and I am pretty sure there IS, but I'd love to see some layouts using them.

I've started by inking the doily w/ a sponge..works great. That way I can get them stained any color for any palette.

I'm making some 'vintage' style cards for a friend and just KNOW there have to be some creative uses for these things!?

Thanks for any leads!

I've seen lots of card on various blogs using doilies as a pretty layer (or part layer) - maybe try doing a gallery search and see what comes up?

Have fun!

Funny enough I've just written about using Paper Doilies as one of Cardmaking-Companion's "Tip of the Week".

In a nutshell- they look really good when used as faux lace, for example pleated around the edge of a heart shape or box shape.

I remembered where I'd seen a couple of them:

Sweet and simple - Gezzy B's cute Christmas card

Karen's wedding album with doily fan - here

Carolyn's challenge card - here

HTH!

Thanks for your kind words about my newsletter. The newsletter is issued monthly but you will also get a weekly "Tip of the Week" and I have written about the Doilies in that sequence.

I will e-mail it to you seperately and if you any queries then just drop me an email.

Best wishes
