Teatime for Bah Humbug!! #6

I'm still recovering from the shock: TWO cards made today for TWO different challenges with TWO blog posts.....and furthermore, one isn't due until next Thursday and the other has another two weeks to closing!

The theme for this week's Bah! Humbug! Challenge is doileys. Now, last week's Buttons and Bows made me humph just a bit because I don't use either very much, but this new one was even worse - not only have I never used doileys, but I don't like them and have never bought any! Hang on a minute though....didn't I come across a packet buried in my stash drawer when I was looking for the buttons last week?! Goodness only knows where they came from - they must have been a freebie, since not only are they doileys but they are very, very bright gold doileys and really not my style!! Never mind, I can get rid of a couple on a card and with luck I can 'lose' the rest and forget them.

Having all my teabag folding papers over the table inspired me to cover most of one doiley with a large TBF medallion. I punched the 2"/5cm squares from pearlescent paper and used a fold by a South American lady named Carla Prediger. The corner decoration of quarter doileys was somewhat forced on me when I spilt some glue and dropped the card in it (that was just typical of the whole project!) but in the end I was more satisfied with it than I had anticipated. Now, I wonder how I can use the rest of the packet..........
