Pink & Gray Stitched Doily Journal Page

Hi, Everyone,

Doilies are so delicate and pretty.  They look so beautiful as the focal point of the Journal Pages below.

I cut the oval doily in half, gluing one piece onto the left side of the page.  The other piece was used as a stencil over which to apply Golden Heavy Body Acrylic Gray Paint through on the right side of the page.  I just love how the reverse paint shows through.  No use throwing out the painted doily stencil, so I glued it onto the page.

Rummaging through my paper stash I found this pink and ivory butterfly paper and thought it would look great with the doilies.

I also made my own white handmade paper with several layers of white tissue and Golden Fluid Medium.  After the handmade paper dried overnight, I tore it in pieces to use on this layout.  I used white thread on my sewing machine and randomly sewed all over the torn pieces.

I added music washi tape and hand stitched a variety of pink and white stitches over the layout.

The colours flow so smoothly from one to another around the layout.

Have a look at the stitching on the butterfly wings.

See the stitching in the doily. . .  this was so much fun to do.

If you like to stitch, add it to your pages and make beautiful art.

Have fun creating!
