Double D, Punch

Good Morning! 

Darlene and Diane from the Double D Challenge Blog are celebrating their 4th Anniversary!  Can you believe that?  They are a dynamic Duo and are great to 'work for'.  Don't forget to wish them congratulations when playing along!

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

Here is your Inspiration Tile:

Here is what I created:

I created a lemon lime border by using an old 2" scallop circle punch.  I then cut them in half and sponged with corresponding ink.  Layered in a piece of Vellum on top.  Then I found a small lemon/lime slice stamp from Simon Says, Adult Beverages set. Using Versa Mark and White Embossing Powder I heat set an image on each 'slice'.  Inks in Crushed Curry, Wild Wasabi and Amalgam Black.

Sentiment is from Gina K Designs, Sweet Strawberries.

I also used an old corner punch to round each corner of Designer Paper and card stock.  Cherries colored with Copic Markers and then I added Glossy Accents to them.  Buttons and Baker's Twine to mimic the cherries as accents.

We had a wonderful Christmas Holiday, even though we were all sick.  I am still fighting a powerful head cold and a horrendous cough.....blaaaaah.

May 2020 be healthier than 2019 for us all!

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

You'll be glad you did as there is always a pretty prize up for grabs!

Here's the prize for this Challenge:  

You're sweet for coming by!

You Color My World

Hello again!

This simple little card will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Make A Rainbow.

Truly this is an easy card to make.

 

 

A little water colored background and simple stamping process.  Nothing fancy!  The stamp set is A Life She Loved  by Taylored Expressions, which happens to be an AWESOME stamp set! 

 

Check it out:

 

 

Fantastic, right???

 

 

 

 

Although I do like the idea of this card, I don't think I executed it very well.  I should have kept the colors lighter.....brighter.....the blues and greens on the right are too dark, it's hard to see the image.  Maybe I should have colored them all in in black.  Hmmm.....perhaps I will try again.

 

Thanks for peeking in!

Bold And Beautiful!

Hello, this is crazy, post number 3 already!  Yowza.....and more to come!  Yay!

My card today will be entered into the Poppy Sketch Blog Sketch # 10 With a Pop Of Pattern, Stars and Stamp TV Bold And Beautiful.

Here's the Sketch:



I totally FLIPPED the Sketch......you know, just to be different!

These are definitely not the Designer Papers that I typically use, but when you need Bold AND Beautiful you have to look deep into your stash!  :)   The yellow lattice DP does have little stars on it so I knew I wanted to use it behind my sentiment and the 3 little banners.  I also added 3 little punched out stars just to make sure you knew they were there!   A strip of ribbon and little tab and some adhesive rhinestones finish this card off.  It's quite bright and should bring a smile to whomever receives it.

 

Sentiment is from Enjoy The Sunshine stamp set, by Gina K Designs. 

 

Hope you have a fantastic day!
