Neat & Tangled / Freckled Fawn Collaboration Day 4

We're back with more Neat & Tangled/Freckled Fawn projects.

Both blogs will be sharing projects and inspiration every day this week.  Be sure to check back each day and leave comments as there are prizes up for grabs.  Freckled Fawn is giving away a June OHDEERME Embellishment Kit on their blog and Neat & Tangled is giving away a $25 credit from one of the comments left this week.

Today we have a stunner from Mayuri to share with you:

Hey there,
Mayuri here to share a card for the Neat & Tangled collaboration with Freckled Fawn and their awesome range of embellishments. 

The Classic White Doilies from Freckled Fawn are crying out for some inkage (is that a word?!) and I couldn't wait to try out one of my favourite techniques on them. Basically, smoosh a couple of Distress Ink colours onto a craft mat, spritz with water and then lay the doily into the inky puddles.

I heat set the doily and repeated the process a few times until I achieved the desired result - I didn't want all of it covered with ink but just enough to give me a base for the sentiment.

I thought the large sentiment from Be Full was just the right size and stamped it with black dye ink onto the doily and also onto a square card base. I did this because the holes in the doily made it slightly harder to read the sentiment but by adhering it to the card with a couple of glue dots, I was able to match up the stamped impressions and make it appear more complete (hope that makes sense!).

I adhered a small twine bow to the top of the doily and added a cork star with another glue dot.

To finish, I adhered a couple of sequins from the Sunset Shimmer mix.
OK, head on over to the Freckled Fawn Blog to see what their team created and check back each day this week. You won't be disappointed!
