Double D, Blue & White

Good Morning!

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog.  

Such pretty Blues!

 



I came up with a very clean, a very simple design....I know, right?!?!

 

 

 

Using this majestic tree die from Cheery Lynn, Whimsical Tree Of Life die, I cut it twice.  Once from the White focal panel and then again form Navy card stock.  I placed the Navy cut back in the negative space of the White. A simple technique, but I just adore it!

 

 

 

The 2 swatches of blue inks were stamped using the Stampin' Up! set, Sealed With Love.  Inks in Night Of Navy and Not Quite Navy.  My sentiment is by Gina K Designs, Scripty Sayings 2, after stamping I covered it with Clear Powder and heated it.  I do this every time when stamping on Vellum.  I have been known to smudge lol.  Candy Dots, to hide the glue dot under my Vellum.....Oh Fudge.....where did that left one go???  hahaha I will find it!

 

Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!  

 

Check out the FAB Prize up for grabs too!

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

Thanks for coming by, hope your day is anything but blue!

Thinking Of You

Good Afternoon!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Stamp TV, Let's Get Inspired (photo inspiration), Simon Says Monday, Things With Wings and Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets; Fill It With Flowers and Scripty Sayings 2.  I paper pieced the bottle image to match the vase in the photo.  Images colored with Copic Markers and sprinkled with a touch of fine crystal glitter.  I added a Sakura Glaze Pen to each flower center too.  Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25.  

 

 

 

 

 

Sentiment stamped in Brutus Monroe Raven Black ink and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder on a Vellum strip.  If you look closely at the phot you'll notice a bit of gold, looks like it's on the inside of a glass/vase.  Using my Mini Minc Machine I foiled up a sheet of Toner Paper and punched out 2 small butterfly accents.  Glued them together and added a swirl of Adhesive Rhinestones for the trail.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for texture.  Adhesive Pearls.

 

Just another fun card to make.  Still chilly weather here so this is how I have been getting my 'garden on'. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Enjoy~~
