Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!

Here's today's theme:

 

Nautical

 

and here's an inspiration board created to help get you started . . .

 

 

 NO stamps, inks, dies or stencils were used for today's card (except the sentiment).  I've let the beautiful Mintay 'Seaside Escape' do all the heavy work today.  Using two of the same image panels I have used one for the background and used the other one to do some fussy cutting.  I then added this piece and that over top of the same element in the image using dimensional tape.

 Remember, it's a random draw for the winner so it could be YOU!!

You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Double D Challenge Blog to see all the details and amazing samples offered up by our VERY TALENTED design team ladies!!

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope to see you at Double D! 

  As always . . .

Hello Friends!

Have you checkout our challenge blog called TRIPLE B?
It's all about using any of your stash but your project must have at least a BIRD, a BUTTERFLY or BLOOMS (flowers) visible on it.  Hence the title Triple B.

Here's this months inspiration board ...

Isn't this inspiration board awesome ... Diane is so good at making her boards!
It's always fun to see how different hers are from mine but both are always fun & fabulous!

I decided to stay with as much white in the background/foreground as possible
so I pulled my color from the simple birds/butterflies similar to the inspiration board!

Product used ...

Nellie's Choice 3D 'Roses' Embossing Folder

Elizabeth Craft 'Lovebirds' die (#1268)

Martha Stewart 3-in-1 Butterfly Punch

Pink Fresh Studios 'Perfect Sentiments' stamp/die set (sentiment)

  

The fencing is from a Heartfelt Creations die set that my N.C. friend Sandy
was kind enough to die cut for me.

Here's a close up view for you . . .

Remember, our challenge begins on the 3rd of each month, ends on the last day of the month and Winner's are announced on the 2nd of each month.

I hope you'll come join in the fun!
Thanks for stopping by today!

As always ...
