Double D Challenge - Wedding

Hello to another Double D Challenge!
It is June and yes,
 we need wedding cards.
Host Darlene has put together this inspiration board for us.



I will get right to my card today.

I used Simon Says Stamp Sketched Flowers for this one stamped on watercolor paper and I used my Arteza watercolor pens. If this looks like the bottom right, that is what I was hoping. 

Here is a prize for a random winner. 

Pop on over to the BLOG for more inspiration and thanks so much for your comments.

Double D - HEARTS

It's February, and you will not be surprised that our theme is HEARTS

Here is the inspiration board for you. Team Diane is up this time. 

Take a look at the bottom left section, as that is where I went for my inspiration. 

Without further ado here it is. 

I was drawn to the patterns on the puffy hearts and thought I would start there. I stamped the Leaves and Berries background stamp from Simon Says on white paper with Distress ink in Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac.  Then die cut the hearts in different sized from Die-Namics Stitched Hearts. The panel on the front is dry embossed with a folder from Darci called Wire Fence.  I added a banner that I colored with the Shaded Lilac ink. My white string was also colored with the same ink. This could be a Valentine's card or not. 

Of course, there is a prize for a random winner. 

Remember you all have a chance at the random pick! It's all fun.  Be sure to check out the blog to see more inspiration.  It is all so original 

Thanks for stopping in, Love your comments. 

Double D - 4th Anniversary Celebrating with some Punch!

It's a new year of crafting and celebrating at Double D

We are celebrating our 4th Anniversary 

With some 'PUNCH' We want to see some poor neglected punches used.

There is always a board to help get you going. 

The Prize

I was inspired by the colors on the board and the fact that this is a celebration of an anniversary. I kept my colors light and wanted to create a party on my card.  Here in my Florida craft room, I have no punches, but I think a die could be used as well. This die is from Sue Wilson and it is called Shadowbox celebrations. I love this die cut as it can be used for so many celebrations.
I have neglected it.
This will be used as an anniversary card when I need one. 

I used the Power Poppy stamps set called Dream Wedding with my brand new Arteza watercolor pens.  Boy, do I love them! So easy to use on watercolor paper. You will be seeing more of them on my cards.  I am pretty sure of that.

This inside was completed for this card as well as an envelope.  The finished card is 5X5.

I added some swiss dots to the envelope leaving white space for the address.

We are off to a great start and you should see what we have in store for you this year. 

Be sure to see what the team has for your added inspirations at the Blog

I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year for 2020! 

                                                  

Double D Challenge - Watercolor

It's time for Team Diane to bring you another fun challenge for the next two weeks.  It is fitting for the Spring that we are all hoping to see soon.  Check out the Mood board for inspiration. 

I was inspired by the lower left panel as it reminded me of a field of flowers.  

Here is the card that I made for this challenge and your inspiration.

 For this card, I used a stamp set that was gifted to me from a dear friend.  It is Paper Trey Ink A Year of Flowers. I stamped it in Distressed ink in Old Paper and then did some watercoloring over that.  The lines of the Old Paper disappear when you do that and It gives this look. Stamping the flowers again in the background filled in the picture.  Remember to mask off the flowers in the foreground. To give the flowers an anchor I painted in some grass and ground.  For texture, I pulled out some texture dies that I received from My Favorite Things as a freebie.  They leave texture in the cardstock. I used several across the top and some on the bottom.   I chose a plain green envelope for this card.

On the inside, I stamped the one flower image with the Old Paper ink.  Again I used the dies. 

Here is the prize

Thanks for the comments that you take time to leave for me.  I do appreciate every one of them.
