Double D Challenge - HELLO

Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
I'm happy to say I am hosting today's challenge and today's theme is:

HELLO

The design team ladies have come up with some amazing designs for your inspiration, be sure to pop over and check 'em out!  Speaking of inspiration ... here's the mood board I created ... hope it helps to inspire you!


Here's what I came up with ...


It's always nice to have a few note cards in your stash
for those times when you just have the need to
drop someone a note!  We all love getting a surprise in the mail
and I think this pretty card will work perfectly!

I ended up cutting a strip off my designer paper in order for
it to fit my A6 card front proper so I decided to grab one of my punches
and make a decorative panel for the inside ... what do you think?


Still leaves plenty of room for message ... I really need to put more effort
into the inside of my cards.  I try at the start of every year but
then I get busy and hurried so the insides end up with just a sentiment stamped
and nothing more.  Maybe I can do better this year!

For my card front I have used designer paper by Mintay called 'Paradise',
I've used a stamp set by Pink & Main and dies from
Scrap Man called 'Dill'
ScrapMan - Dies - Dill

and Spellbinder 'Venise Lace' Hemstitch Rectangles.

We have this fabulous Serendipity - Hello die offered as the
prize to one lucky random winner.  Remember ... you gotta play to win!

Serendipity Dies - Hello
