Paper Doily for Easter

Hi out there in blog land.  Today's card is an Easter card for the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge #248 and the Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #111.  This is the first time I've used the doily die; I kept hearing how time consuming it was to remove all the little pieces but I didn't find it that bad.  I cut out two so you'll probably see another card using it in the near future.  I got the idea from Chanda Stehlik here.   

I chose Island Indigo card stock for the base.  Twitterpated designer paper was cut out with the Big Shot and the Paper Doily die and attached to a piece of Blushing Bride card stock that was cut out with the Circle Scissors Plus.  I used liquid glue to attach it because it's easier when you're working with narrow pieces of paper that you find on the doily.  This was added to another piece of 

Twitterpated designer paper that had all four corners rounded.  The sentiment from the Delightful Dozen stamp set was stamped on a piece of Blushing Bride card stock with Island Indigo ink and punched out with the Scallop Oval punch.  I trimmed off the top and attached it beneath the doily.  I made a bow with the Island Indigo ribbon, attached it above the sentiment and wrapped the tails to the back.  This layer was then added to the card front.  Island Indigo card stock was cut out with the Big Shot and the Lattice die.  I trimmed away parts of the lattice until I had the cross shape.  This was attached to the doily with liquid glue.  The little flowers were made with Baja Breeze and Blushing Bride card stocks punched out with the Boho Blossoms punch and the flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  To get the flowers to curl up a little, I gently pushed down on the centers with the Simply Scored Stylus.  The pink was attached to the blue with liquid glue and the flowers attached to the cross with glue dots.  Pearls were added to the center of the flowers and above the sentiment.  I enjoy making Easter cards because of the great colors that come along with spring.  Hope your week has started off well and you'll get a chance for fun and/or creating.  See you next time.
