DT 174 - Basket of Apples

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 174!

It's a fruity challenge this week - the small graphic is shown below. Please visit the Double Trouble website for detailed information. 

I die cut several apples from shades of red, yellow and green. The basket was die cut from Kraft paper and inked for dimension. The apples were added both inside and outside the basket. I used yellow gingham paper for the background and adhered the basket to a hexagon die cut. Some gold gems were placed around the image and the sentiment was added at the bottom.

I am also linking up my card with Festive Friday Challenge 167. I used the following items from their list: fruity colours, basket, gingham and fruit. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

DT 161 - Thinking of You

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 161!

It's all about green for this challenge. The small graphic is below - please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

Since we are pairing with the Festive Friday challenge, I chose three components from their board. Those were: use green, use gold and make a fancy fold card. 

I chose some green alcohol inked patterned paper and gold foil to adhere to a black card base. The card opens to the left and then folds down to reveal a place to write a message and a second image. The front panel is cut away so the first inside panel shows through. I stamped and coloured floral images using the same shade of green and lots of purple shades. I didn't add any embellishments to this card - it folds flat for mailing.

DT 139 - Bluebird with Plaid

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 139!

It's a masculine challenge this time, with a touch of plaid. Please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

I pulled out a layered bird stamp that I haven't used for ages! The bird was stamped in three shades of blue ink and I coloured the beak and added the feet before die cutting that image. A blue plaid background was adhered to my card base and I added a die cut frame on top of that. A smaller frame was cut for the centre and I inked that with the lightest shade of blue before adding the bird on the branch. The sentiment was stamped in the same three shades of blue ink to create an ombre effect. Aside from a few blue gems, I didn't add anything else to this card. 

The photo below shows that frustrating moment when you think your paper is lined up and it isn't... we have all been there, right? 

Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us your masculine cards.
