I made this card for the Clean & Simple Stamping blog's Fall-to Layout #168. I always love Natasha's sketches.
The doily came from my friend, Annie. Thanks so much, Annie, for including it with the cards you sent me. I stamped the sentiment from an Inkadinkado set on it, coloring the stars with a pale yellow and adding Stickles to them. I added a circle of Baja Breeze for a little bit of color to show through the innermost part. I hand-cut the bottom arc and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder, then rubbed ink over it. The top half was embossed with a Swiss Dots folder. The doily panel was mounted on Dimensionals. EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to say that this card is five inches square.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

I love how adding the doilie makes your card look elegant. What a perfect Christmas card. I've said it before and I will say it again, you should be working for Sizzix. :)

Stunning card from what I seen in the few cards on your sight they are all beautiful. I've got to use my cuttlebug more thanks so much for the inspiratiion.
This is beautiful. I love the way you stamped on the doily. The soft sponging on your embossed background really adds depth to your creation. Great job. Hope things are wonderful with you. I bet you are excited about Christmas with your grandson. :)
How gorgeous Lynette - love the touch of soft blue - wow!
So delicate and elegant! Beautiful!
Lynette, that's a really pretty card! So gorgeous all in white. Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog! When my new Cougar arrives, I should be able to cut things like that doily, and emboss too! Can't wait! I just hope it's not too much of a wild cat that needs a lot of training to domesticate it though!!
Hugs, Shoshi
This is great, and the embossing really sends it over the top! Love how you shaded the embossed pattern.
What a gorgeous, simple, easy-to-mail Christmas card, which I need to do a few more of myself!!! LOVE this!!!
