Double D - Stripes and/or Dots

Dear Ones~

 This time over at the Double D Challenge Blog the challenge is STRIPES and/or DOTS. Here is the beautiful Mood Board for our inspiration:

Here's what I came up with:

I have been playing with my Fuze, so I thought I would try my hand at using some texture paste with a stencil and then runing it through the Fuze with some foil. It's so much fun because you get the texture from the paste and the glitz from the foil. I love how this came out.

The Ingredients:

GKD White Card Stock

SU Plaid DSP

GKD Sun Spots Stencil

Deco Foil Duo Transfer Gel

GKD Glimmering Gold Foil

Simon Hurley Floral Stag Die Set for Flowers

GKD Feeling Frosty for Greeting

Trinity Stamps Gold Baubles

Double D - OH DEER

 Dear Ones~

This time over at the Double D Challenge Blog the topic is DEER. Here is the beautiful Mood Board for our inspiration:

This is what I came up with:

I have had this die set for awhile and thought this was a perfect time to use it. For that background embossed panel I used Tim Holtz Tree Rings embossing folder. I really love it and use it often for masculine cards. I ink smooshed Distress Inks on watercolor paper and then die cut the leaves with the resulted background panel. So pretty.

Here's a close up of the deer.

GKD Warm Cocoa, Kraft and Dark Chocolate Card Stock

Recollections Green Card Stock

Tim Holtz Tree Rings Embossing Folder

Sizzix Delightful Deer Die Set
