Recipe for Happiness

I'm so happy to have been asked to be guest designing this month for Double Trouble Challenge Blog. (Do take a look at the blog to read complete and fun directions!)
This week, #17, has a "recipe" of at lease 3 embellishments, 2 colors, and 1 stamp or digital image. For more chances to win, add something you might find or make in a kitchen, and/or join in the Color My Heart Color Dare #322 for Bright and Bold, or #323 Soft & Pastel!

I used images from MFT, Recipe for Happiness, and colored with Copics (except for his florescent scarf, which is a gel pen). I pulled out some bright and bold papers from my stash. If you weren't awake when you opened this, you are now! The three embellishments are the little clothes pins, clipped to the orange and white ribbon.

For the second project using the same prompts but in pastels, I created a tag stamped with Distress Oxides in a light pink, embossed with clear powder, then surrounded by pink and yellow inks. The stamps are from Avery Elle, Bring on the Cake.  The cake and plate were colored in using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens in Rose Quartz and Moonlight. A few enamel dots for the embellishments and a simple polka dotted ribbon tie finished off this little gift tag. 



Thanks for stopping by. I love reading your comments!

    1. I was making this card when my hubby popped into my room and asked me if I had any use for a bag of clips that he had ordered, but were too big for what he needed! Yup, you bet, LOL! Thanks, Julie!

  2. Wow, having both entries on the same post sure shows the difference with a shade of the same colors for "Bold and Bright" and "Soft and Pastel". I really think you couldn't get any bolder or brighter than that...fun card. Thank you for creating on both challenges and being our Guest Designer for this month...excellent inspiration.
