Doily tutorial

Today I thought I would share a little tutorial with you. I literally have thousands of doilies so I am always trying to find new ways of using them. Here's a new trick to try :)

What you'll need (plus a sewing machine)

Cut the center out of one doily

Sew a straight line gathering it up as you go along

 It should look similar to this

Press it down on the embossing ink pad

                                    Sprinkle embossing powder over it and shake off the access

                                                 Heat up the powder until it turns glossy

Now add to your layout or card!

The finished product

Have fun trying out this fun technique!

Here is the tutorial of how I made the background for my 'Choose' canvas. I'm really loving this technique and it's SO easy. The hardest part is waiting for things to dry! (sorry for the bad lighting)
