Dream Catchers ...

Hello friends.  I'm so pleased to share with you tonight my latest project with a sweet handmade doily embellishment.  It was fun crocheting this precious jewel, I'm sure to create more in the future.  My head is swimming with ideas and I'm searching for patterns.  A little overboard? Maybe.  Excited?  Yes, definitely!

 "Doilies are like dream catchers, each knot holding a thought, a memory.

The sum of these make up the history of a place."

This card began with Very Vanilla card stock which was layered with printed papers from my scrap drawer.  I don't think I could ever go through all my scraps ... I love digging through them all - matching colors and patterns.  The assortment of buttons along the bottom are from here and there ... strung together with Early Espresso Bakers Twine.

My doily is layered on die cut paper in the lovely shade of sage.  I added a coral colored fabric flower - picked up along the way somewhere.  The seam binding is dyed with Certainly Celery Classic Ink, a soft yummy green.  A decorative pin adds sparkle and the velvet leaf another texture.

The tag is created with two punches - Eyelet Border and our Large Tag.  It's easy to trim the tag down to the desired width.  My sentiment is a rub-on found currently in the Clearance Rack (yep, on sale).  There are lots of wonderful sayings on two sheets ... it's called Chat Room.  A little more bakers twine holds my tag in place.

Thank you for stopping by ... I hope you enjoyed your visit.  There is a strong possibility that you will be seeing crocheted doilies in the future - I hope you don't mind!
