I made this for my grandma who will be having her 84th birthday on the 13th this month. She used to make doilies for all of us. Now, she isn't able.
I did this to cover the Ways to use challenge to do anything new to you. Well, I did 3 knew things here. 1. texturize it-- stamped image and then run through the cuttle bug. I used a doily stamp and embossed it in white. Then I went over it w/a lacy ef. 2. loopy -- making loops and bows don't count. I used corrugated paper and added liquid pearls. 3. Stamping three-- tech. where you layer your panels, stamp over them, then put a layer behind them. My layers are made w/ pale plum and charcoal gray.
My main image is a tiffany lamp from serendipity stamps. I colored using the ink from the lids of my ink pads. Thanks for looking!

That Tiffany lamp is a great image. I'm sure your grandmother will really appreciate the care you've put into making this lovely card so personal to her.

What a sweet card to honor your grandmother! I love the lamp, and your color combination is a great choice. I would love to see this IRL, I'm imagining how great the ef texture must look!
