I am so excited that Judy Woodland is joining our team at DD. Judy and I have been been
on-line friends for several years. We share thought, ideas and techniques. You will love her work.
I know all of you agree with me that Darlene and Diane create the most fabulous mood boards,and this one is no exception. I love pastel colors and was drawn to the rolls of material in the soft colors. One of the things I enjoy most about being on this team is that I tend to use dies and stamps that need some love. I remembered a MFT die that I have not used in ages. It worked well to imitate the rolls of material.
Here is my card. I die cut the MFT cover plate several times in different colors of PTI papers. I now have enough parts to make several cards.
The side panel is a Frantic Stamper die that I embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder. Some Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blossoms and Sue Wilson Dandelion Cocks and assorted pastel leaves finished the project.
Visit the DD Challenge for inspiration from the team and then create your pastel project. One randomly drawn entry will win this fabulous flower die. YOU inspire us!!
As usual the team will WOW you with their creative pastel cards. Go take a look at all their gorgeous pastel cards at Double D Challenge Blog
You are going to get a lot of comments on this card. I personally think it is one of your best. Love the side panel, it looks like a summer curtain pulled back by the cluster of beautifully created flowers, to reveal the pastel panel. I love everything about it. Congrats to Judy too.

This really is such a pretty mood board, I could cry that I didn't get a card made. Too many cards I need for specific people and occasions and only so much time to stamp! You, however created something pretty and perfect, and now you've given me another idea for my chicken wire die. Those pastel flowers are so pretty and I adore the dandelion cocks and the sage leaves.
ReplyDeleteI know I hate it when I don't have time to participate in one of these challenges. The boards are all so beautiful. Since I don't color well,these flowers are perfect for me. Glad I gave you an idea for something you already have instead of something you have to buy.
DeleteThis is a fantastic and beautiful card. I love the hexagon background which shows off those flowers so well. I have been so busy that I just am way behind in doing challenges. So I don't know if I will be joining in or not.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning and beautiful card Kathy. You always make the most amazing cards with your floral displays. We all have our different talents and I can't colour either and you show us your style in flowers. Aren't you lucky to have Judy on your team. I am lucky I get to see her talents weekly. She will certainly be an asset at DD.
ReplyDeleteStunning card Kathy, love the gorgeous blooms and dies used.xx.♥

Oooh so pretty! I love the way you inlaid the die cuts, makes for a beautiful quilt--great choice of Designer Papers! And that other die, like a curtain is being pulled back, that is amazing! And of course YOUR signature gorgeous flowers. What a beautiful cluster, perfect colors and perfect design! STUNNING (as usual!)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lots of work but certainly worth the effort as it's stunning!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Barb, this is one of your best. So much fun to inlay all those sweet patterned papers, and you have done it perfectly. It can be a bit of a challenge to make it look just right. I have that die and am inspired to pull it out again. Your flowers are gorgeous, and I love how you have created that border on top of the inlaid die. This is simply beautiful....I'm pinning!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card design! I love the pretty, soft colors and the honeycomb background is fabulous! The flowers are spectacular! LOVE this!
