School is in session and things are really busy in our household. On top of everything else, my boss asked me to start working every day so now I feel like I have less time to do the stuff I want to do! I know you all can relate!!

Well, let's get on to this week's challenge......DAINTY DOILY! Now, we should see a lot of you Maggie lovers participating cause I know how popular doilies are on your cards! Really they are sooooo versatile and add such a special touch.
The doily is behind my mini Tilda and Edwin...aren't the two love birds soooooo ADORABLE?!! I took a plain, white doily from my stash and stamped over it with a script stamp from Inkadinkado in Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. Then I distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. The beautiful dps came from MME Lost & Found SUNSHINE. The flowers are a combo from Recollections and WOC. The lace trim from WOC started off white and I inked over it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to make it brown. The thin yellow trim on top of the lace is from Affinity (Hobby Lobby). The dark brown pearls in the corners are CTMH.
Here's a closeup of these cute Minis. I stamped my images on Copic X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black, and colored them with Copics and chalk. I'm still trying to get used to it, but I'm finding it's better to work with a light touch since the ink stays wet on top longer. If you look at Edwin, you can see I paper-pieced his shirt, sweater, and pant cuffs. :)
Here's a side view so you can see the dimension. Tilda and Edwin are sitting up on pop-dots. And, of course, I never create a card without my Scor-Pal and Scor-Tape....the best stuff out there...especially for 3-D projects!!
Well folks, that's it for me! I'm writing this Wednesday evening and I'm just plum tuckered out so I'm off to bed! The kiddo had a friend come over to play this evening, and they have lots of energy so they wore me down! :)Have a great week and don't forget to link up your card at CropStop for a chance at winning a gift certificate! I hope I see you there!
Hugs,

What a sweet, adorable and fantastic card, Rosie! I just love all the the detailed work and the finishing touches. It's so cute and yet has a vintage appeal from the shade of color chosen for the card. TFS how it was crafted. =)
