Double D, Pretty Florals For Mom

Good Morning! 

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile:

Pretty Florals For Mom.

This was a tough Challenge for me. 

I used to make 3 Mother's Day Cards, 

but I lost my Sister and my dear Mom last year.

So now I only make one for my beautiful Daughter.

Creativity Soothes The Soul.

I had this gorgeous Pinkfresh Studio Paper

that I wanted to use, Sunshine On My Mind.

Really beautiful floral prints and patterns in fantastic colors.

PFS Sentiment, Floral Notes stamp and stencil sets.

Ornate Circle dies, cut in Vellum, 

cropped and added to each end.

Floral Circle dies, just for the Circle portion.

Frantic Stamper Mix N' Match Poppy dies.

Gold Embossing Powder.

Gold Mirror Paper.

Vellum.

Foam Dots.

PFS Jewels, 12 Pack.

A Regular Slimline Card,

which I very rarely make!

And if you make a Slimline Card

you usually have to make a matching envelope.

I adore this color combo!

Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!

You'll be glad you did as there is always a pretty prize up for grabs!

Here's the prize for this Challenge:

Watched this VIDEO from Cards And Coffee Time 

and fell in love with the technique she used on her alphabet dies.

I colored each letter in an ombre fashion then added Gold foil paper to the bottoms, then I added Gold glitter to the tops.  Love how they came out.

I used Martha Stewart Glitter, man does that stuff sparkle!

Foam Dots.

A super FUN card to make.....even if it is a slimline lol

I took the Gina K Designs Rose Mini Slimline Plate 

and introduced it to my Glimmer Hot Foil Machine.

I think they got along very nicely!

Then I die cut the plate from stencil material so I could apply

my inks to the image.

The foiling is light and subtle, I think if I used a shim 

it would have created a bolder line.  

You can really see the deep pink foil when the light hits it just right.

Gina K Designs You Are Enough, sentiment.

Sizzix Stitched Circles and Labels die.

White Embossing Powder.
