MFW Challenge : Diggin' Doilies and Lace

Thanks everyone for your comments on my cards featuring the Look Up stamps! You all are the best! Today I would like to share a card I made for the Diggin' Doilies and Lace Challenge by Moxie Fab World. If you know my style, you'll know that I don't use doilies on my card except for the occasional time where I want to create something totally different from my style like shabby chic card. So I would say that this challenge is really a 'challenge' for me as I step out of my comfort zone again.

As I said, doilies on card is not my style so I had to go out and buy me some doilies paper last weekend. I'm not sure if really like the color but I left with no choice as the selection of colors are limited. But one thing I like about the paper is the distressed look. Cath mentioned that the key element of this challenge is color contrast, hence the turqoise cardstock as the base. The butterflies were punched out from doilies using my Martha Stewart punch. The chipboard sticker from GCD Studio goes perfectly well with my punched out butterflies. Oh btw, the doilies paper is by Basic Grey.


Have a fun day!!

    Oh my Cindy! Out of your comfort zone but definitely a beauty! You're the first person I know of that has used a punch on a doily to create a butterfly, brilliant! It looks fab, that white contrast against the chocolate and blue, it's beautiful!
