Our theme at Double D Challenge Blog is called buildings. Barns, Skyscrapers, castles and sheds are all on the mood board. I had a bit of a problem with this challenge since I don't have many building stamps or dies.
I do have a barn die, but I could not think of a new design to use it. Then I remembered I had a paper pack with some beach front buildings so I decided to frame one of them. I cut a frame from some teil paper and then sponged it with distress oxide inks and a stencil that Dar and Diane sent to me. As you can see ther are different types of buildings in this fun beach paper.
I added a flower, some greenery and a sentiment to the card. I still struggle with using designer papers, but I love then and keep trying.
We hope you join us for the new challenge at Double D Challenge Blog for this challenge. My teamates have some awesome inspiration for you.
Great idea Kathy and your framing & flower are PERFECT! Thanks for another beautiful DT creation. I always look forward to seeing what you create! Well done my friend!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Kathy! The stencil design works well with the beach house theme. Love the scalloped edge framing the scene.
ReplyDeleteI think you made lemonade out of lemons! I had the same struggle as i didn't have buildings to make a card with. I love your idea and as soon as I saw it, I thought it was a memory that you were sharing of a vacation in the islands. The added flower and frame is your signiture!
ReplyDeleteJust a note from the beach....love it! Greatly designed! Love the oval frame and your die cut sentiment and a big bold beautiful blossom to boot!
ReplyDeleteWay to come up with something when you have nothing...lol. This is fabulous, and I wish I was there!!!
ReplyDeleteSo tropical and sweet Kathy! I like the detail on that flower die. May I ask who it's from? Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is brilliant, Kathy! I might not have thought of designer paper, but it works beautifully. You've framed it perfectly with a tropical look. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach/tropical scene you have created, takes me the lazy warm summer days I am craving! The flower and colors you have combined are gorgeous!!
