When I did my dt order for Basic Grey I added in one of the Doily die cut papers thinking to do some masking with them and that is what I did.

I cut it down to 6x12 and with a little bit of double sided tape at the top and bottom put it over another 6x12 piece of paper. Then the fun began. I squirted some paint straight onto the papers then spread it out unevenly with a piece of cardboard scrap. Once I had the effect I wanted I carefully separated the papers and put them aside to dry. Once dry I used the 6x12 paper that was under the doily as a base for my layout and I used pieces of the doily on a card set.

Aim high.


I just love the effect that this has created.



Happy birthday card set


I still have some of the doily left over and am going to play around with some misting and maybe even some texture paste too.
