Today I thought I'd do a quick card tutorial. Most of the time I start with a "vision" of what I want to create. Sometimes it turns out exactly as planned, and sometimes I take "detours" along the way. Well, this morning I didn't have a clear plan, and I took lots of detours:)) But, that's okay. Sometimes it's nice to just take out some supplies and go for it! That's what I did today…
I started with a piece of Webster's Hollywood Vogue paper that I cut to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2," folded on the 8 1/2" side, and crease with a bone folder. I had a paper doilie I thought I could somehow incorporate.
I Scor-Taped the doilie to the card, and added some coordinating stickers.
That went pretty well, so I added some more stickers and bling. A normal person might have stopped here, but I believe in the rule "more is more!"
Of course, I had to pull out the Distress ink. If I had a plan, but I didn't, I would have inked first. I'm just going with it…
I've been looking for an excuse to use the Melissa Frances Glass Glitter I bought awhile back. The color was right, so I gave it a shot. I applied it using my Zig 2-Way glue pen (love that baby!). I kinda like it!

I love your fearless attack and “why not?” attitude. I have no skills with papercrafts but I love seeing how other people do it. Beautiful card! Thanks for linking up to Finished for Friday.
How come when I do more is more it just looks like a hot mess??? lol. Beautiful.
Gorgeous! I would love to get this in the mail!!
OMW…this is BEYOND AMAZING!!! Love…Love…Love it!!
This card is fantastic as always! I have a question about your glass glitter, Is it real glass? I got some on e-bay and when I got it the instructions said that it could cut you or stick into your fingers so I haven’t used it. Thank-you….
Wow, Melissa! You did a fabulous, wonderful tutorial. So glad your card is shabby
just like I love it! I love visiting you. Thank you for sharing!
hugs,

saw you at paper issues. absolutely gorgeous card and a great tutorial.
Thanks everyone for the sweet comments!! Pavint, I think the glitter I used is really glass. It doesn’t seem to be sharp, though. It feels like chunky glitter.
Beautiful card! Absolutely love all the pieces you put together! You’ve given me an awesome idea for my doilies!
So pretty !!! And very elegant!!!
Hugs!
