Double D - Pink and White

Dear Ones~
This time over at Double D we are playing with Pink and White. We can create anything, as long as we use pink and white.  Here is the Mood Board provided for our inspiration:

 

And here is my card:

 Such a pretty color combination, I had so much fun playing with this. I used a very old Sparkle and Sprinkle image from the Mon Ami stamp set. I have not thought about this set in years, don't know why it popped into my head. But I think it lends itself well to the color challenge. It is stamped and heat embossed in gold and then colored with Copics. The greeting from Stampin' Up is gold heat embossed on vellum. The background is dry embossed with a unique Sizzix embossing folder that is 3 dimensional.

Here are the Ingredients:

GKD Innocent Pink Card

GKD White Heavy Base Weight Card 

Stash Gold Foil

GKD Gold Embossing Powder

Sparkle and Sprinkle Mon Ami Stamp

SU Stitched All Around Stamp for Greeting

Sizzix Jumbled Triangles Embossing Folder

Wall Flower Lacy Layers Die for background

Copic Markers

Gold Thread

Mod Squad - Greet your Vellum

Dear Ones~

Happy February! Where DID January go? We went from the sub-zero Polar Vortex temps to an unseasonably warm 42 degrees in a week. Welcome to Northern Michigan.

This week it's my turn once again to host over at The Mod Squad Challenge. My challenge is to apply your greeting to vellum. You MUST use vellum for your greeting or your entry will be removed so as not to skew the numbers for the prize drawing.

Double D - Hearts

Dear Ones~
This time over at Double D we are playing with HEARTS. Easy, peasy, right? And just look at all the lovely hearts on this Mood Board for our inspiration:

Here's my card:

I decided I wanted to make a shaped card for a change, so I folded the card stock in two and placed the die so that the top slightly overhung the fold. After it's cut, the fold remains. Then I die cut another of the same shape and ran it through an embossing folder to give it a quilted look. That piece was adhered to the card front.

Here are the Ingredients:

HOTP Love & 5 Hearts Die for Shape

SU Tip Top Taupe Card Stock

SU Tufted Dynamic Embossing Folder

SU So Detailed Thinlits

SU Balloon Pop Up Thinlits for Die Cut Bow

EK Success Flower Punch

Stash Pearls and  Cord

I hope you will hop on over to Double D Challenges and see what the other designers have created. And if you play along, you will have a chance to win this adorable little die.

 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a great week. And don't forget to swing by Double D and check us out.  I so appreciate your lovely comments!!! They mean a lot!
