Fake it 'til you make it!

Have you seen the Maya road Kraft doilies? They are so yummy! They are also sold out, at least at 2peas anyway.  Instead of having a little pity party I thought I would just make my own.  I used my Studio Calico doilie stamps you can get here or here and the little brown bag my Studio Calico kit came in.
I used american crafts pigment ink.  I had never used this ink before and it gave a wonderful image, but took a little time to dry.  I made a few from the bag and a few from some cardstock leftovers and the bag ones were my fave! The ink bled just a little bit on the bags and I just really loved the look.




The bag doilies are on top and the cardstock are on the bottom.  The cardstock were alot easier to cut out though.  I cant wait to use these!
