Double D - Wedding

Dear Ones~
Time for a new challenge over at Double D, and since it's June, we are celebrating WEDDINGS.
Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:

 

And here is my card:

I thought it would be fun to do a vellum overlay so that the dancing couple would have an ethereal look. The greeting was stamped on the vellum and it was attached to the image panel, which was stamped and heat embossed with black embossing powder. The patterned paper is really a GKD background stamp called Rose Lace. I love it.

The Ingredients:

GKD Black Onyx and White Card Stock

GKD Rose Lace Background Stamp

GKD Always and Forever Stamp

GKD Black Detail Embossing Powder

SU Floral Essence Stamp for greeting

SU Vellum

Studio Katia Arctic Breeze Pearls

Stash Ribbon

PRIZE

A $20 gift certificate to the Gina K Designs store.

This is my card:

For this card I used the Gina K Designs stamp set Wild Blossoms.  I might mention that when doing this technique a solid stamp must be used for best results. The greeting is from the GKD stamp set Scripty Encouragement. I smooshed the ink pads onto my craft mat and then used a paint brush to paint the ink onto the stamp. After huffing on the stamp, I stamped onto my card stock. The inks I used are GKD Fresh Asparagus, Dark Sage, Tomato Soup, Sweet Corn, Sweet Mango, Cherry Red and Wild Wisteria. Card stock is GKD White Heavy Base Weight and Tomato Soup.

Glad you stopped by, and don't forget to head on over to The Mod Squad Challenge Blog and play along. You could win the prize! I can't wait to see your wonderful creations, and I adore your comments.

 

I hope you all are well and staying away from others. These are strange times, aren't we glad we have our craft to keep us sane?

 

Until next time, here's celebrating your Creative Muse.

Double D - Use Your Scraps

Dear Ones~
This time over at Double D we are playing with scraps. We ALL have scraps of patterned papers and card stock. No one can ever bring themselves to throw anything away, so this challenge is perfect. Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:

 

And here is my card:

I LOVE using scraps, and don't do it enough. Here I used an old retired Stampin' Up punch to punch out those hexagon shapes from different scraps of patterned paper. I used the Stampin' Up Detailed Bees Dies for the embellishments. The bee was die cut twice, once with black and once with gold foil. Then I inlayed the black body of the bee with the gold. I also cut the honeycomb twice and saved some of the gold "innies" for accent.

 The Ingredients:

 SU Crushed Curry Card Stock

GKD Black Onyx Card Stock

Stash Gold Foil Card Stock

Pebbles Garden Party Patterned Paper

Hackney & Co. The Emporium Patterned Paper

SU Honey Bee Patterned Paper

SU Detailed Bees Dies

SU Hexagon Punch (retired)

Trinity Stamps Gold Baubles

If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this Die-namics Notched Border die. And don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created for your inspiration.
