Hello Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge at the Double D Challenge Blog and, it's another fun theme chosen by Diane ... also check out the amazing mood board she has designed to inspire you!
Our theme is: WREATHS
Here's the mood board Diane has created . . .
Here's what I came up with! I'm sure you can tell right away
which wreath in the mood board inspired me!! LOL
Yep the lemon wreath! I created my lemons using Nuvo Yellow Crystal Drops.
For my wreath, I used a very old Cheery Lynn Designs 'Joy to the World' (B481).
See, I told you I don't have/use many wreaths LOL
Might have to do something about that!
I have die cut the wreath three times using different shades of green card stock then tack glued them together to achieve the 'fullness' of my wreath. Then I proceeded to add the Nuvo drops and let sit for 24 hours so I didn't 'mess them up'. LOL
I found the yellow wood panel designer paper in the Mintay by Karola 'Marina' 6x6 paper pack and thought it would work perfectly with my yellow lemon wreath ... and it did! The pretty yellow ribbon comes from a Really Reasonable Ribbon pack. I belonged to their club a few years back and have some very pretty ribbon packs but don't use them often enough ... today was the day!
For the sentiment I used the Honey Bee 'Sending You Sentiments' Stamp set for my wording then used one of the dies from the Sue Wilson 'Stitched Flags' set to create the flag. It wasn't long enough so I die
cut PART of the sentiment then moved the die down, cut the the opposite end to meet in the middle. Hence a long enough flag for all the words.
Diane has this fabulous prize offered to one lucky winner.
But, you have to play to win!!

ReplyDeleteOh Wow this is just gorgeous, love the dimension on your lemon wreath and that wood paper behind is beautiful touch, love your pretty yellow bow to hand the wreath!
ReplyDeleteLet me guess, which wreath inspired you. Ha ha! I got it. I adore the way your did this card, it looks just like the inspiration and is so versatile. I will need to think outside the box and put some lemons on my next wreath card. I will call it splendiferous!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely wreath, Darlene. Love the "lemons" :-) Beautiful card with the wood background. Love it! Hugs ~ Lena
ReplyDeleteThis wreath is so pretty Darlene. The lemons and foliage are so real - I love all of the card.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the look of this. Using those die cuts is just perfect for the prefect wreath. And using the Nuvo Drops is genius, it looks exactly like the photo. Simply FABULOUS, my friend.
ReplyDeletethis is so cute and a perfect card for the mood board. I never would have been able to make that many lemons without messing up the whole card, but you manage to use it perfectly. The yellow wood is also the perfect backdrop.'
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Dar, this is fabulous! I love your sweet "lemon" wreath! So bright and cheerful and the background paper is perfect. What a darling card!!
