I am so excited!!! I had a very awesome, creative weekend but more on that later! Introductions must be made... This card actually fits two different blog challenges. I started with my commitment to my goal of doing the
Dynamic Duo's weekly color challenge. (Week three... check...) This week is a black tie week so the challenge was to use Daffodil Delight and Basic Black. There is a dessert option of adding in dry embossing. Of course, I'll always go for dessert!
I cased this card from my up, up-line. (Does this look familiar, Carolyn?)
This looks very similar to Carolyn's card. I changed the embossing folder and the black strip down the center, but basically, it's the same card, but, oh... it's such a good card. I like to play around with the cards a bit, so on this one, I put bright yellow brads in the center of the flower. Then I popped the flower up on top of a black flower underneath. I love how the black just pokes out around the edges when seen from an angle.
On the next one, I love the textures of the dots with the over sized scallop. I popped that one on a daffodil flower, turned at an angle so it sticks from between the petals of the top flower. Again, I loaded the center with brads; this time I used black brads in a 3/4" circle of daffodil. That is popped up, too.
The sentiments are the same on both. The sympathy pair from Petite Pairs. My BFF's dad just passed, and I want her to know I'm thinking of her. If you are a pray-er, please pray for Terri.
I mean, sometimes I plan multiple challenges together, but this week when I saw that card at Carolyn's, I knew that had to be my Dynamic Duo card. AND it works for the ladies at
The Friday Mashup. I was so pleasantly surprised! A "two-for" in creativity! I don't have a fabric ribbon or bow, but I am saying that my paper ribbon still puts me in the "I mashed-it-up" category. Yes! I love the mashups, ladies!
Thanks for looking!
