DT 199 - Tulip Aperture Card

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 199! 

The small graphic is below - please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

I wanted the image inside the aperture to stand out so I chose a black and white background. The aperture was die cut from the card base (plus two other layers) and I die cut a black frame to go around the opening. The tulip image was stamped and coloured and placed on the inside of the card so it shows through on the front when the card is closed. After I thought I was finished, I realized I had not included two images so I stamped, coloured and fussy cut a pair of tulips and added them at the side. The sentiment was adhered across the opening so it lifts with the front of the card.

PS September - Pink Birthday Hugs

 

Welcome to Pearly Sparkles and our September challenge. 

September is always a challenge dedicated to Traci - pink, pearls and/or glitter or sparkle. 

I chose the postage collage rose stencils to create my card. 

The roses and leaves were stencilled and I used silver glitter paste for the tiny diamonds. Postage images were stamped on the card and I adhered the front to a black mat and then a pink card base. The sentiment was embossed in white, cut into three pieces and adhered at the bottom. 

Come and join us at Pearly Sparkles and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have until the end of the month to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

Alyson
