Dear Ones~
Happy New Year!!! Here's to a wonderful and blessed 2025. WOW, who knew we would already be celebrating a quarter of a century into the new millennium. AND it's the 9th anniversary of our Double D Challenge Blog; Dar and Diane first conceived of this wonderful blog in 2016. Time to CELEBRATE, and here's the Mood Board for our inspiration:
And here's what I came up with:
I had so much fun coloring up Amanda, this sweet little House Mouse, with my alcohol markers. I used several patterned papers from my HUGE stash. This is my favorite way to make a card, layering up different patterned papers.
The Ingredients:
GKD White Card Stock
Tim Holtz Metallic Card Stock
Spellbinders Dimensional Diamonds Embossing Folder
House Mouse Amanda Stamp
Memory Box Glimmering Gladiola Patterned Paper
Memory Box Springtime Bouquet Patterned Paper
SU Special Moments Stamp for Greeting
Stash Pearls
If you head on over to the Double D Challenge Blog and
play along, you could win this fabulous die set. Also, don't forget to
check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created.
So, until next time dear readers, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED.
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE!!
