If I Had a Flower - Double Trouble Challenge #6

This is my DT card for Double Trouble Challenge #6 "Some Thing, Any Thing and Every Thing" and using the Little Acres Stamp Set "Lots of Poppies", which was a random draw prize from Little Acres Challenge back three months ago. Each month for six months I get Happy Mail (current stamp set for that month) from Little Acres, and I still have three more months...the stamp is always a pleasant surprise.

Double Dare's Challenge #6 is for one week only, our 5th Monday in any given month is an "Anything Goes". Please join us at Double Trouble to see the other DT member inspirations. And Pair and Share with our previous partnering with Color Dare, Heart2Heart, Three Amigos and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and win additional chances for our random draw prize.

Decided to make this card with very few layers because I didn't want to fussy-cut all the stems...so I stamped the field of poppies on the bottom edge of my white cardstock and colored them with a variety of Copic pens.

Wasn't happy with them just being on the white cardstock and guess what, I fussy-cut another stamped item and used it to mask over the flowers. Selecting a couple foliage stamps proceeded stamping lots of foliage in Pear, Sweet Leaf and Fern...very please with it. On top sponged some blue and mink inks, stamped and colored the large poppy, stamped the sentiment in green leaf and added Momento London Fog because it was too light (closest to Mink).

Popped up the large poppy and then stamped the same poppy field on the side border of the inside in Momento London Fog

Love Ya - Color Dare #303

This is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #303 using one of the images colored in my Copic Class. I did change a couple of the colors for better matching with the Color Dare TicTacToe graphic. Have a pretty good stack of images that have been colored in class and they usually don't fit in with the color challenges, but this time it worked out for me and I was more than satisfied with the result. What do you think?

Double Trouble and Heart2Heart will be partnering with us for the next two weeks...please join us.

THING 1 Trouble Maker

says don't get your tinsel in a tangle, add the twist of a fun and fancy fold. Look to Pinterest, You Tube and even Google for lots of ideas. If you link up to Heart2Heart you get an additional chance for the Double Trouble Random draw.

THING 2 Double Dare dares you to link up your creation to Heart2Heart for "Christmas in July" theme. This theme is open from Monday, July 16th through Sunday, July 31st. Heart2Heart (for this theme only) has allowed you to enter this challenge and if you don't have a CTMH product don't worry about it... You are welcome to use any products.
