Beauty is All Around - Double Trouble #55 partnering with ArtsyStamperDigitals

This is my DT card for Double Trouble Challenge #55 "Spring Things" Inspiration Clipart and partnering with ArtsyStamperDigital #14 "Springtime"From Spring Things Inspiration Clipart I chose (purple, green, yellow and blue) and two elements (flowers and dragonfly). Twisted Sister's optional twist "something related to water" were my dew drops on the Oxcalis flowers. 
  

  




Printed three of the main floral, cut with Brother Scan and Cut, colored with Copic Sketch alcohol-base pens, fussy-cut and adhered 3D thin foam tape to several leaves/flowers to give them dimension. Selected a blue background paper and stamped the dragonfly on paper with Gypsy Ink. Cut and Colored a couple of the smaller flowers and adhered to corners. Sentiment was stamped with Gypsy Ink at the bottom of the card. Dew Drops were added and shimmer pen used on all the flowers, leaves and dragonfly.





To join us at Double Trouble all you need to do is select 3 elements from Thing 1's Inspiration Clipart to include in your project. 



Then it's up to you whether you want to include Thing 3 Twisted Sister's optional twist., and to join with our partner for "Springtime" at ArtsyStamper Digital. Check out ArtsyStamper Shop for more floral digitals.

Thinking of You - Color Dare #390

Here is my DT Card for ColorMyHeart ColorD are #390 and using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge # 364.  For the background used two of the design papers from the Mix-In packet, cut the different widths, alternated the pattern, spaced and glued each piece on Sangria cradstock.   Used one of the same design papers and stamped the butterfly in black, one in Sangria (it peeks out around the edge) and one in Smoothie, adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension and added a little glimmer.  Sentiment was stamped in black ink and layered on Sangria cardstock.

Happy Easter - My Egg Decorating

Saturday I boiled a dozen eggs; however being distanced these last few weeks no thought was given to buy the dye for the Easter eggs.  So my white hard boiled eggs were put in an Easter Basket for the next morning.   

Woke up Sunday morning, we ate a couple hard boiled eggs and it wasn't decided until then that the balance of the eggs needed to be decorated. The white eggs for Easter baskets to be shared with my family was not enough... so out came my Easter design papers, stickers, two sided tape and scissors. Took a lot longer than dipping them in vinegar colored water and I had so much fun and enjoyed by all.  My husband even said those are the best looking Easter eggs he's ever seen... in fact he didn't even want to peel them.

You're In My Heart - Double Trouble #54

Here is my DT Card for Double Trouble Challenge #54 "It's Hip to be a Square" and Twisted Sister's optional twist "use a stamp older than a year" and I am pairing it up with ArtsyStamper "Things With Wings".  I've had this die for quite some time and saw so many different uses and fantastic cards; now, it was my turn to create. Of course the cut was the easy part, adding the 3D foam tape, adhering to a background paper leaving an opening on top of the card to add the sequins.  That probably took a half hour or less; but it wasn't finished for another three hours...nothing seemed to go with my background paper and did so many different cuts and choice of an old stamp.  Wasn't really happy with it until I added some more dimension with liquid glass on the flowers and a sparkle on the butterflies and leave embellishments.  Done.

Happy Fishes - Color Dare #388

This is my DT Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #388 using the colors in the Inspirational Board and the sketch at Mojo Monday #535. This Mojo sketch was exactly what I needed for my fish bowl, and the Inspirational Board was perfect for my fishies.   


Stamped all of he items from the Stamp Set, cut with my Brother Scan and Cut, chose the items one at a time, colored, laid out on the fishbowl, added my 3D thin foam tape and adhered to fishbowl...pleased with the fishbowl and set aside.  Next I selected and cut the design papers close to measurements on sketch, layered each panel with peach cardstock  and adhered each panel to cardbase.  Fishbowl was glued to my background panels, the sentiment stamped on the sign post and adhered with 3D thin foam tape.    




These photos better show the dimension of the fish bowl.
