Pretties etc

Last week , I was blessed to receive

 these lovely hand dyed crochet doilies 

in the mail all the way from NSW, Australia

 from the lovely Sandra Gerdes , 

an Australian Scrapbooking Master( 2006) -

{just to mention one of a million crafty talents she has ! ;) }

 Check out her blog  here to see what I mean 

I couldn't wait to make some cards with these pretties - 

here's one I  finished today .

I've also used the latest Making Memories'

 metal embellies to complete the card .

I have used an MM  embossed star charm,

a  metal flower on top of the scrunched ribbon

 & a glittery copper deco brad for the doily center-

all freshly brought home from our LSS  today ! ;)

I didn't have the heart to cover up the pink doily too much -

I thought the pattern has such wonderful, pretty details ! 

I am loving the combo of MM's embellies 

with this WRMK Tiffany papers . 

Again , to show off the lovely doily patterns I have used 2 together here,

with an MM pearl brad to finish the flower off .

Sandra has the most reasonably priced hand dyed crochet doilies at the mo -
