Hello Friend

Double Trouble Challenge Blog, #53, is an anything goes, use your stuff/scraps, and share with a previous challenge partner. Not everything is necessary, so do check out all the details. I created a tag for this challenge.
I pulled out my newest stamps set, Stronger Together, from Simon Says Stamps, and heat embossed on some scraps of paper I had on my desk. I colored with metallic colored pencils and added some white gel pen details. The little hearts are popped and a few Nuvo drops were added for a bit more texture.

Shared with Crafting Happiness Challenges.

Thanks for stopping by!

Edited to add: National Goof Off Day and National Chip and Dip Day as an added fun play from our friends at Double Trouble as requested by my friend, Sue! I can't eat chips, so I played with some sugar free chocolate dip and nuts to make this silly face!

  2. Jean, it's amazing what you did with your scraps to create such a pretty tag! The gel pen additions really dress it up, too! I wish I had the talent to know when gel accents would make such a difference on my own cards!!! Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna

  3. Great coloring and using the white pen for your highlights, beautiful and love all the scraps of design papers you used and the bright red tie is striking. I hardly ever make tags, but a tag like this is a card too so serves two purposes...beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Crafting Happiness. Now, for a real challenge, get your favorite chips out, (well for you, choose a favorite snack that fits with your diet) and would love you to celebrate with us at our National Goof-Off Day and share a Chip Shape. I know you can do it...lol http://doubletroublechallenge.blogspot.com/2020/03/fun-challenge-national-goof-off-day-and.html

  6. That white gel pen adds so much interest to your tag - love the images you selected. Now the non-chip... that is just so "sweet" - love the face. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
