Double D - Color RED

 

 Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
 
Here's today's theme:
 
Use the color RED
 
and here's an inspiration board created to help get you started . . .
 

 
 Using some OLD designer paper for today's card that I purchased at Hobby Lobby years ago.  Do you have as much beautiful designer paper as I do???   LOL  I could wall paper my house with as much as I have ... both small packs and 12x12 LOL
 

Anyways, this particular paper is from the Paper Studio and is called 'the Blue Barn'.  I've paired it with a Gina K Designs stamp set called 'Single Peony'.  The tag was die cut using one in the set from Tutti Designs called 'Stitched Nesting Tags'.

I've used Tombow markers for the coloring and a small piece of green satin ribbon for the top tie.

Peace on Earth Challenge #82

 

Hello Friends and welcome back to my blog! 
SO happy you stopped by!

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the PEACE ON EARTH CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.  Of course the theme is Anything Christmas and we hope you'll come join in the fun! 

Here's a fun inspiration board we've created to help get you started ...

 

 My sister loves horses and has had several over her lifetime so I thought I'd use this image I found on Pinterest and create her holiday card for this year.  My daughter actually has a horse that looks very much like this one ... his name is Indy.  Isn't he beautiful?

 

 Back to the card . . .

I used wood planking background paper and at the bottom I stamped a couple fence post groupings using the Stampscapes 'old fence' (#293C).  

 

My sentiment, old SU (A cardinal Christmas) stamp was stamped onto a scrap of white card stock then die cut using one of my favorite die sets, Sue Wilson 'tags' (CED4317)

 

 I finished it off by adding a few snowflakes from the Hunkydory 'Let It Snow' (MSTONE039) die set.
