Hello friends! The Double D team is seeing red today... in a good way. Everything in Blogland seems to be red or pink this month, and why not? 'Tis the month to let red have its way, so that's our challenge -- show us your red. Here's a lovely mood board for inspiration if you so desire:
Creative winners are voted on by the team, and the prize pictured below will go to a random winner.

| Penny Black Across the Miles premium 3.25" x 4.5" cardstock |
For my sample I used Stampendous Mailbox Spring with a sentiment from another Stampendous set. I colored with Copics and covered the card base with Echo Park Love Notes paper. I'm sure this Valentine has been received by now, but no telling with the crazy weather it has to go through to get there.
I ink-sponged the edges of the image panel and flicked a little water. Added Wink of Stella to the butterflies.
I love red and think it should get to come out and play more often. I'll work on that. In the meantime, I hope to see your red in our gallery at Double D. Thanks for stopping by!

How sweet and happy is this card! Those flitting, sparkly butterflies are so cute. This is such a fun image and your coloring is always amazing. I wish I could master it the way you do.
a nice card to bring a smile to someone's face. Have a great day
OH WOW ... what a sweet image and your coloring of course is perfect! Love your choice of background papers ... PERFECT! And, how clever of you to make the coordinating hearts for the corner embellishment! Sweet creation my friend!
I love red, too, Leslie - you have me wishing I could paint my own mailbox! So cute... wait, there's sure to be some new crafty goodies in that package, right?

Oh my goodness that is so pretty, I love all the detail on the post and pretty flowers and butterflies all around, you did a wonderful job coloring it, I like the double heart down by the sentiment too, cute touch. I agree you just never know about the mail, I just received a Christmas card last week that was mailed in December, took two months to get to me.
Very pretty. Love the image. I bought some of that Echo park paper and made over 20 Valentine cards out of one 6x6 paper pad. It was such fun.
So much to love on this lovely card Leslie! The mailbox and the little setting you put it in are so cute and I'm loving those sweet little butterflies too! The dsp is the icing on the cake!! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Again....a beautiful art card. The variety of images and colors (emphasis red) provides so many things to look at.
What a cut mailbox scene, Leslie! And I love the mix of patterned paper and all that red! The mail is so ridiculously slow these days.
I love how whimsical this is! Every element is super sweet!
This is so adorably sweet, and it looks like so much fun to color. I love all the whimsy, very dear and cute.
This is so pretty! I like the image of the mailbox and the nice designpapers.

What a sweet and cheerful card this is! I'd love to have a mailbox that looks like this. The butterflies delivering craft goodies would be the icing on the cake. So darling Leslie!
This spring card is so hopeful looking with the promise of a card coming to someone special. The way that you used color on the edges for the sky and earth is very creative. I love the wonderful butterflies. That background paper is so sweet. I mailed out my Valentines early and it still took a week to get there.
What a great card for this challenge! Love the mailbox full of goodies and the beautiful DSP. Reminds me of making the girls their own mailboxes for Valentine's Day. It took some of my cards to reach the recipients over two weeks! It's just crazy!
So pretty, Leslie, and as usual - amazing coloring. Awesome card.
This is just Gorgeous!!! I love your layout, the design and the beautiful colors
your patterned paper is so pretty and a perfect match for your mailbox image 3
Sweet, sweet image.....beautiful coloring! Hey! I expected to see a puppy there lol
So very pretty. Love the added heart and the way you did the edges of the panel and flicked it with water.
Great design as always and your card is amazing ♥
Those pretty papers really set the stage for this cute image! 💕Sue Kment
