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!

Butterfly Tags Card

The most fun challenge out there, Double Trouble, added a new challenge (#3). Thing one asks us to use brown, turquoise, and coral (do check out the link above to see the exact colors). Thing two has us added ribbon, or twine. And, Double Trouble is to join in on the colors selected for the Color my Heart Color Dare #297 challenge.

Well, I think I have it all covered here (the colors really do match, in person, the original nutmeg, glacier and sorbet.)

The background was created using a Magic Foam stamp that was impressed with a pile of rubberbands. The tags were colored with Distress Oxide inks in Carved Pumpkin and Blue Lagoon. Then, the bottom tag was splattered with brown and dotted with white gel. The butterflies were cut using Paper Smooches Butterfly Duet. And, a brown ribbon and brown Nuvo Crystal Drops finished the card.

Thanks so much for the visit. I do read your comments and enjoy each one!

Duck and Cattails Masculine Card

This week, over at Color My Heart Color Dare, the required colors are Slate, Canary, White Daisy, and Eggplant. These colors seemed like good colors to use for a masculine card.

I used my Scan n Cut along with an SVG file from My Scrap Chick called Duck and Cattails to make this very simple card. The patterned paper is yellow and gray. The tops of the cattails are not attached and the duck is popped and edged with an eggplant color to match the cattails. The sentiment was gone over with an eggplant colored sparkle gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy reading your comments!
