For my first project I used the doily in a simple and subtle way, playing up the monochromatic match of the cardstock to the metal doily. I found this metal doily at IKEA - it is meant to be a candle holder and they carry it in a variety of sizes. I loved it knew I wanted to use it for a wall hanging. I added the word "Hope" which is also a cut from Samantha Walker. I also added the golden pearls around the inner edge. That was a long, tedious process...but it definitely added the finishing touch I was going for!
While this piece can work for a holiday home decor piece, it can also work year around!
The second project uses the doily in a more complicated way! I used it as the focal point on this card and weaved some ribbon through the spokes of part of the doily. Apparently I was in the mood for tedious work...because this was another longer task! Again, I think it was well worth it though! I secured the ends of the ribbon and then tied a separate bow using the same ribbon. This covered up the ends! I also added an additional twine bow that was a match for the kraft background!
Some pieces from Teresa Collins "Santa's List" line are the final touches to the card.
