Here is the card that I did for this challenge

The stamp set is Gina K Designs called Timeless Poppies and I chose to color them in blue. I used Copic markers in B 34, B63, B66, BG 15, and BG 72.  For the leaves, I used YG63, YG67, G43and C5 for shading. The background is a new to me embossing folder from Pink and Main called Plaid.  

I can see this in my future. 

The splatters were purposely put there with my Posca pen. 

 I didn't want to take a chance on messing up.

Double D Challenge - Anything with a Rainbow~Unicorn~Mermaid

Do you believe that it is April?  I think that the time is going fast and soon we will be heading back to Wisconsin for the summer.  Yes, I said summer. All of you that have stayed in the north and have had a lot of cold weather and snow may not remember summer. But it is coming. 

In the meantime, while you wait, here is our next challenge at Double D. Diane is the host and this is the inspiration board for you. 

 

Anything with a Rainbow ~ Unicorn ~ Mermaid

   

I chose the Mermaid! 

This card is a great example of many different stamps and digis put together to make a scene. 

Mermaid is a digi from Tiddly Inks

The palm tree and sun are from GKD, Tropical Skies

The sentiment is Power Poppy, Gift from the Sea

Cloud stencil, Colorful Life 

That is all!

We have a prize for the random winner. 

Stop by the Double D Challenge Blog and play along.

Seed what inspiration there is from the other team members.

Here is my card for you. 

This was done with one sheet of designer paper that I had in my stash. I die-cut some of them with stitched squares and some with plain squares. Then I had fun arranging them on the front of this card. Next, I used the Happy Birthday die from Die Namics cut from gold foil paper. I called it done. 

I can't wait to see what you will do with this challenge.  Please pop over to the blog to see what the other designers have done. You may be surprised.
