DD -Watercolors

                                       The theme for this next challenge at Double D is

WATERCOLORS

Chosen by Diane. Here is the inspiration board.

                                          

Here is the card that I made for this challenge

I am not good at watercolor, so I chose the easy way out. You may want to as well. 

This card has Paper Trey Ink Watercolor wonders paper for the background and the circle.

I stamped the MFT Pretty Poppy in Stampin Up Tangerine. I have had a set of these sheets for a long time and I am so glad to be able to use them. ( I sound like Leslie Miller) in a good way. Lol 

I love you Leslie!

Black Nuvo drops and gems. 

Looking forward to seeing you in the challenge Here

Die cut Divas - April Challenge.

This is a new to me challenge called Die Cut Diva's. I became aware of it from one the entries to Seize the Birthday Challenge, Loll.  This challenge sounded interesting and I set out to make a card to enter. I had the time, I thought, but the day got busy and it came right down to the wire. 

The Challenge is to make an Anniversary or Birthday Card. 

Altenew is the sponsor with a $30 gift card to the random winner

Here are the cards that I made.

I made birthday cards as Altenew is celebrating a birthday.

Supplies for these two cards made from one embossing folder are:

Altenew Zero-Waste Flowery Pattern

After embossing and coloring I took a scissors to the design and cut it into two. (pretty daring move I must say)

On the card on the left I also used a Swiss dot embossing folder

 and on the right, an Altenew Dotty Circles folder. 

Sentiments are Gina K 

It was daring, but I got two different looking cards.

Double D challenge - Tea or Coffee

Darlene has given us lots of ideas for this challenge of 

Tea or coffee. Lets go!

So many ideas for this challenge

This is my card.

I started with spellbinders cardstock in mint

Then I went back to an old stamp and die from Paper Trey Ink card stock called stormy and a stamp called What the Doodle Tea Time. Good to use older stamps and dies. 

The sentiment is from Gina K stamp called Coffee Therapy

I will be looking for you in the gallery.

April Pink Fresh 2026 Challenge

This challenge is an Anything Goes challenge. We are encouraged to get inspiration anywhere. 

Can you tell if the base of this card is white or is it blue?

Using the Twisted Pattern die from Pink Fresh ,I cut it in white, and used the die to emboss the die into the blue . Because I wanted as much texture on my background I did this. 

Then I took each arch in white and sponged the edges with blue to give it more depth. I liked the look. 

This is one of the arches with the sponged edge. Next I glued them on place on the background. 

Next I added the Be Fearless flowers made with the stamp, die and stencil from Pink Fresh

The sentiment is from Sunshine On My Mind, also Pink Fresh

Gems are from my stash. 

I am entering this card in the Pink Fresh 2026 April Challenge. 

Check out the challenge yourself.
