I also absolutely love the sketch for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge this week. It gave me a chance to try out one of those gorgeous silver doilies. I love that the package contains both silver and gold doilies and also two sizes of each. The way I've used the doily to fit the sketch, I only needed half of one. At this rate my package will last quite a while.
I decided to make an anniversary card. If the "Happy Anniversary" is changed out, it could also be an engagement card or a wedding card. I kept the colour palette neutral. I really wanted the silver to take centre stage, and not just the silver in the doily. I also used silver ribbon and cut a silver butterfly as well as a silver Project Life paper clip. Even the matte for the sentiment is silver foil.
The beautiful Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper "picked" my colours for me. I went along with the Basic Black, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla contained in the paper. I added some texture by embossing the Basic Black behind the silver doily using my Elegant Dots embossing folder. I also added texture to the Sahara Sand Strip by using my Decorative Dots embossing folder. Both echo the pattern in the printed lace of the designer paper.
