Double D Challenge - Frames

Hello Crafters! This next two weeks at Double D Challenge we will be looking at frames. How ever you want to display them frames is it. 

Diane has prepared this lovely inspiration board for you. 

If you enter, you have a chance for this prize as it is a random draw. 

This is how I did my frame. 

I made a frame from white card stock with Hero Arts dies in two rectangle shapes.

 By layering two of those rectangles together

 I was able to make a thin black frame on the top. 

The flower is Honey Bee die Lovely Layers Cone Flower 

that I had already completed.

The sentiment is from Gina K Designs Delicate Flowers

I hope to see you at Double D!

Color Hues winner!

I was so surprised to hear that I was a winner at Color Hues! It was a good day when I had some extra time to join in the fun. Today I am here as a Guest Designer and I am thrilled to show you my example. 

These are the colors for this challenge. 

As soon as Nancy sent me these colors, I thought they 

would be perfect for a floral image. 

I just got a new set of stamps, stencil and dies from Pink Fresh

 that I used on this project. 

It is called Be Fearless! I added the 

Decorative Frames letter press and die too. 

Every single layer of that die is cut individually. 

Therefore you can add dimension on any layer. 

Notice the inside, where I used the largest layer. 

The inks that I used to get close the the Color Hues theme are:

Gina K Medium Spruce and Dark Carnation and Altenew Coral Berry.

The silver gems are from Pink Fresh. 

Thanks to the team at Color Hues for inviting me to play along!

Pink Fresh Challenge for May

This is my entry for the May 2025 Pink Fresh Challenge. 

Supplies are: 

Nested hexagons dies

Be fearless stamps, stencil and die

Sentiment is Spellbinders Press Plate Cheers to you.

Inks, Turquoise Sea, Ocean Mist, Jelly Bea Green,

Lemon Drop and Sweet Corn, Soft Stone, Light and Medium Carnation.  

(that is a lot of inks)

I forgot to take my stencils from Florida when we left last week, so I had to rely on what I have here. The soft gray stencil is an old one and I have no idea where I got it. I love the soft colors on this card and I think the stencil works. 

Check out the challenge.

Double D Challenge - May's Birth flower or stone

Theme:  May's Birth Flowers
(Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn)

and Birthstone is Emerald

Be inspired by any of the three.

I found that this challenge was really a challenge for me. I didn't have a single stamp or die that was a Lilly of the Valley. I investigated that other option of flower and did my best to come up with a Hawthorn Flower. Here is what I did.

Using The Greetery Botani Cuts Geranium die, I shaded it with the colors in the inspiration photo. 

Then added the small stamens that I saw with Nuvo Pearl Gold drops. 

The inks are GKD Tomato Soup, Coral Reef and the new Sunkissed Coral

Simon Says Small Die Hello cut twice for the sentiment. 

Embossing folder by Sizzix, Textured Expressions

A strip of gold glitter paper on the black band

White dots on the leaves with White Posca pen (should have left that out)

I like how it turned out.

 

 I hope to see you at Double D!
