Hello Doily and Grannie Smith Remembered

As soon as I saw Hello Doily in the new SU Idea Book and Catalog, I thought of my maternal grandmother, Ethel Smith.  I don't think that I have too many memories of my grandmother that didn't include a crochet hook or knitting needle in her hand.  She was a true artist.  She had macular degeneration in her senior years and she still was able to produce flawless creations with out patterns and her hands moved so fast, it was fascinating to watch.  This card says it all:

Grandma's Doily

I have entered this card in two challenges.  The first is at a new challenge blog and their first challenge: IN(K)SPIRE_me.  This was a real challenge for me to have this large color combination.  I did not have ribbon in any of these colors, so I dyed 5/8" Organza Ribbon with my Poppy Parade Marker, didn't it turn out great?  I embossed resisted with Peach Parfait, stamped my Remember When with Bravo Burgundy and set it all on a Melon Mambo card base.
The other challenge that I entered with this card is over at: "Less is More".  Their Week #24 Theme is Circles.  I thought that the Hello Doily and the Delicate Doilies stamp sets are circles.  Check out all of the other entries for these two challenges, lots of talented ladies have entered.
