Double D Challenge - Flowers

This is the mood board for the next challenge at Double D and Darlene is the hostess. 

Such lovely flowers and I chose to use a new stamp and stencil set that I recently purchased from Pink Fresh called Miss Your Smile. I also used a newer technique that was brought to me by Donna Phelan. You can find it here.  Donna used a lattice die but I used what I had that was close to a lattice die. I think there are many possibilities. 

Heer is the card.

Can you Handle the Pressure - Anything goes with a twist of floral.

I made a card that today that fit rather well with the theme at Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge.

For the challenge, you must use an embossing folder and there is a twist of floral. 

I will get right to it as I was binge watching Firefly Lane on Netflix and crafting while I made this card. 

It was a great one to watch but a sad ending. Here is the card that I made. 

Supplies are:  Spellbinders Holiday Floral Sway Embossing folder. (not just for holidays)

Black card stock from Gina K

I sponged over the raised areas with white ink

Spellbinders Trillium die

Creative Expressions Sentiment. 

Three gems from my stash.

Seize the Birthday #261 - Wheels

The challenge topping for this next two weeks in WHEELS.  How every you interpret that, and make a card. I took it litteraly and then did my card. Jules is the designer that is hosting for this challenge. 

Of course, if you don't use a topping, just make sure it is a birthday card. 

Remember the new possiblilites for this year, we will pick a guest designer that uses our topping to design a card to play with our team on the very next challenge. 

My card. 

See the pull tab on the left? If you pull it the bike moves. 

I had this digital image fromTiddly Inks, but lost it when my computer crashed 3 years ago. I just bought it again as I loved it and when this challenge came up, I had this digi in mind.

Double D Challenge - Fresh Picked (anything you can pick fresh)

We are getting into the Spring growing season and all of the things that grow here in Florida. Like Blueberries, and strawberries. That was all that I needed for inspiration for this challenge from Diane! Just look at the luscious fruit on this mood board. I picked the strawberries as I had a digital image in mind. 

Here is the prise for a random winner of this challenge. 

Here is my card.
