Today's card was inspired by a challenge on the Paper Wishes message board. I had made some cards with one of the foil papier tole packs from Hot Off the Press and had this one left that I wanted to use. The challenge was to use a doily or template as a pattern for piercing paper and using those holes for sewing a design. My first thought was to use this heart shaped doily for a template for stitching on the pink vellum, but I quickly changed my mind. I decided I really wanted the doily itself as a mat for the papier tole hearts. (Stay tuned for another post that shows some stitching patterns I made from the doily for another project.)
So, I used a swirly template I got from Hot Off the Press, and a ruler to punch holes in a swirly pattern and around the edge of the vellum. I then did my stitching with metallic silver thread. An outline sticker sentiment and some a bit of liquid pearls finished off the design on the front.
The inside was done similarly using the extra artwork that came with the papier tole as corner accents.
