Make your own doily & more winners

Hello Friends, I have lots to share with you today. I am just beaming with something new that I just purchased. First ... the challenge.. it's that time at Simon Says Stamp Challenge BLOG. I hope you will check it out. I want to remind you that each week a random winner will be selected for a $50.00 certificate.


These yummy cupcakes are from Unity stamps here. The product that I am really really excited about is this Piercing Mat..... it saves you  soooo much time & it works so beautifully !!!!!!!!! I discovered that if I pierce the punched holes with this Martha Stewart punch I can create a the appearance of a doily. After I pierced (with this handy tool) inside the punched holes I added some faux stitching with this white gel pen. See below for a close up.


All of these supplies will be listed below and as well as the Copic colors. To create the "wall paper" background I used this Penny Black paisley stamp that I use for almost everything. The Paisley Background stamp was inked up with Worn Lipstick & a little Rusty Hinge distress ink. I also added layered the two distress inks to distress the corners. The papers are "Summer Sun" & "Rose Garden" from Penny Black's mix and match papers and the card base is a craft note card from Jillibean.  I almost forgot the yummy cupcakes. I stamped the icing one more time. Once they were colored I added Rock Candy distress stickles to the pink & red icing. Have you seen this new handy Glossy Accents? I added that to my cherry. I also use GA to adhere EVERYTHING!  I rarely use a tape runner. Glossy Accents will out live me :) Ok befoe I go ....one more thing........
