| Meridy's "Build a Doily" on transparency paper. |
To make your doilies look more like the Maya Road ones, rather than creating doilies with colored ink, as Betsy shows us in her tutorial, use Black Staz-On Ink and stamp them on recycled acetate packaging or a transparency sheet. And there you have it...WARNING: you can get addicted to making these little pretties!!!
Another option is to cut a doily using you Cricut, Silhouette, or other die cutting machine. Or grab a real small doily and ink it to be any color you would like. Both alternatives are very simple and quick!
LOve this idea! Course I am way to lazy to do this...but bookmarked it just in case! lol
ReplyDeleteI had see her tutorial before I just dont have a bunch of cool stamps that would work maybe I need to keep my eyes out for stamps that would work
ReplyDeleteWhat a great alternative to buying a pre-made doily stamp! TFS!
ReplyDeleteEven easier - I searched for black doilies in google images & printed the images onto transparency paper.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this!!! I tried googling tutorials for scrapbooking doilies and found one using Photoshop. Basically it was digitally cutting little triangles and pasting them in a circle. Kind of like a kaleidoscope. I hate to say how much time I spent with that. In the end I did not like the look of how the doilies came out. Since I have a TON of stamps this is a MUCH better way to go. I am going to run down and try it. Maybe I can finally finish up my counterfeit kit!
I am not a doily person but these are so well done they look bought! Awesome job!

ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea that I never even thought about doing!!! I'm going to do an image search to see what I find :) Thanks! *Meridy*
I searched for free mandala coloring images. They have themes as well as the traditional geometric designs. Check out the photo I posted on the facebook page!
