Crafty Secrets Challenge - Initial Technique

Happy Tuesday Everyone!! Today I'm happy to say I am your hostess on the SCS Crafty Secrets Forum Challenge and I've tried to put a little TWIST on it! I've asked the ladies to go to the RESOURCES section of SCS and find a technique/style that begins with the FIRST initial of either their FIRST name or their LAST name ... (or both) and use that technique along with their Crafty Secrets product to create their card/project.

With my name being Darlene Pavlick, I've chosen to do a Diagonal Double Pocket card using the Poppin' Pastel technique. This card style has a couple variations to it ... you can check it out HERE. I've used Christmas red cardstock for my base card and after doing my special folds, have edged those folds using a gold Pilot marker. The Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas large stamp set are the images I've used on this creation. I stamped my vintage Santa using Versamark onto Whisper White cs then using a cotton ball and Pan Pastel Green Artist Chalk, brought my Santa to life. I then used Nestabilities classic circles and scallop circles for my focus panel. The tags are by Paper Reflections and were covered using Crafty Secrets Radiant designer paper ... then Darice satin ribbon was added to the tops.

This creation also fits the challenge going on over on the Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays Blog - Special Folds. Be sure to check out what the DT has created for even more inspiration.

I hope you enjoyed this little creation and I hope you'll come play along! I'm also hosting the Crafty Secrets Group Challenges over on Papercraft Planet the first Sunday of each month and would love to have you join me there! Have a great day everyone and thanks so much for stopping by ... I'm always thrilled to hear from you!!
