DT 169 - Trio of Flowers Slimline

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 169!

This week, it's all about skinny cards - slimline or mini slimline. The small graphic is below - please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

My slimline card is large - 4 x 9 - because I used a Pinkfresh Studio die and that is larger than a standard slimline (3.5 x 8.5). It still fits in a standard business envelope so all is good! 

I chose a brick background and also die cut green rings to go around each opening to define them a little more. The flowers were stamped, coloured and die cut and I inked a white panel behind the openings with a light blue ink before arranging the flowers in each of the openings. The sentiment was embossed on grey cardstock and split in two sections. I added silver Stickles to the dots around the circles and a silver gem to each of the flower centres. 

Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

I am also linking up my card with the I Spy with My Little Eye challenge. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

DT 148 - From My Barn to Yours

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 148! 

It's all about punches or dies and farm animals this week. The small graphic is below - please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

The die I used was a slimline die with three open circles. I inked that background piece with four shades of Distress Oxide ink and splattered it with water. The three farm animals were stamped and coloured and I placed them behind the open circles. The sentiment was adhered along the left side and I used a black mat and Kraft cardstock as a base for my card. 

Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us how you interpret this week's challenge.

I am also linking up my card with I Spy with My Little Eye (something from the farm). 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,
