Double D, Pastel Party

Good Morning!

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



Here's what I created. 

And don't worry this was made in April so, no, I did not miss Mother's Day!

 

 

 

These are pastel colors, but I think my lighting makes them look brighter.  My pretty pink card stock has Swiss Dots texture added.  Then I layered the  Papertrey Ink die, Mix And Mat--Flourishes on top.  My flowers are by Cheery Lynn, Cherry Blossom.  Each flower has an Adhesive Pearl center.  Inside are 2 corner dies (top right, bottom left) also by Cheery Lynn, Lace Corner Deco H.   

 

 

 

 

My sentiment is by MFT, Sweet Roses and is stamped in Brutus Monroe Raven Black ink onto a PTI die cut, Fun Frames.    I colored a bit of natural twine with a Copic Marker and attached my Heart charm to the Sheer Pink Ribbon and Bow for accent.  Then added a few more Adhesive Pearls.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Now head on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!  Another wonderful prize is up for grabs!

 

Here's the awesome prize for the Pastel Party Challenge!

 

 

 



 

Enjoy~~

 



Special Delivery

Good Day!  Yesterday it was in the 50's and today we have about 5 inches of snow....so far.  And it's 'snowball' snow.....wet and heavy!  Hope we keep power through the day and night!  But, if I had to I probably could craft by candle light!

Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges:

MFT, Sketch
MFT Color
Dies R Us, Love
Simon Says Wednesday, Have A Heart
Mod Squad, Hearts and/or Flowers
Double D, Pretty Pink Hearts
ScrapyLand, Anything Goes!

 

 

 

I used the MFT stamp set, Pure Innocence, Will You Be Mine?  MFT dies, Blueprints #12 and Party Banner.  Images colored with Copic Markers.  Baker's Twine and Wink Of Stella Clear Pen for accents.

 

I'm in a coloring funk, kind of lost the coloring MoJo, so am trying to work through it. Plus I had a nice splotch of red ink below her feet, but my name kind of covers that up.

 

Hope you're having a special day wherever you are!

I {heart} Shamrocks

Good Afternoon!

Time for a very quick card!  Saw this on Pinterest (of course!) and knew I just had to make it.

This will be entered into the Challenges at Simon Says Monday, H Is For.....and Simon Says Wednesday, All Things Bright And Beautiful.

 

Super easy, super quick!  I used Spellbinders Heart dies and cut out 6 of them as my designer paper was not doubled sided, I then glued 2 back to back.  Using the negative part of the die cut I sponged 3 hearts directly onto my card stock, this way I had the perfect placement for my cut hearts.  (did you follow that?)  I also used part of a flourish die from Sizzix for the 'stem'.  Stamped the Celebrate sentiment form PTI's Uncorked stamp set and I was done!  YAY!

 

I know it's only February but I am already working through my March crafting list, whahoo!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by, appreciate you doing so.

 

Hope you have a crafty day!

 

Enjoy~~
