I colored some cheerful pink and white flowers with sparkly silver centers and two little green leaves. Sentiment is white embossed on dark gray.
The mood board is so cute with all the retro pink and white. I would love to have any of these images in stamps or dies.
The team votes on creative winners, but there's also a random drawing for a prize. See the Double D blog for more info.
The flower set I used is Poppystamps Sending Scribbles. Colored with Copics, cut out and arranged on a Tutti Designs Butterfly Oval. I layered the white Butterfly Oval onto gray with only the teensiest hint of gray showing underneath to help the oval stand out from the white card base. The gray also makes it appear more dimensional than it actually is. I put hearts on the butterflies just so I could add more pink, but aren't they cute?
I hope you can play along with us at Double D. Enjoy your day!
