Hello Friends and Happy Monday! I'm honored to be a Guest Designer on the Double Trouble Challenge Blog today, and the team is celebrating their 6th Anniversary with a fun Raffle. You have a choice of 4 Raffle Themes: Anniversary, Father's Day, Birthday or Graduation. The Option this round is: Use Kraft Paper, Brown Paper Bag, etc. And the third Option is to enter your project at any of the previous challenge partners.
For my project today, I've used the Altenew Potted Plants Stamp Set to create a Birthday themed Card and have incorporated Kraft Card into my design.
To start, I did a bit of minor masking to stamp the Terra Cotta Pot and Snake Plant (or mother-in-law's tongue, as my Grandmother called it). The images have been stamped using Catherine Pooler inks in shades of green and brown. I went over the stamp images using Prismacolor Pencils, in order to add some shading and highlights.
The patterned papers are from a Recollections Vintage themed paper pad, the greeting is from the Word Fragments Stamp Set by Woodware. I've popped the focal panel and sentiment strip on craft foam, and added some golden thread from Spellbinders. Lastly, chocolate brown gems from Kat Scrappiness have been added to finish out the design. This card is giving me masculine vibes, which wasn't intended but I'm happy it worked out that way. I needed more masculine cards in my stash.
Please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog and enter the Anniversary Raffle. You're sure to have some fun and just may be a winner! Until next time, Happy Crafting!
