Hooray, it's time for another Double D Challenge! This time Darlene is asking us for Wheels. Anything with wheels -- and we're hoping you'll be inspired by this lovely mood board:
I'd like to be in each one of those pictures.
I chose whimsical for my wheels. I've used another of my Inkadinkado woodblock stamps, not new on the market, but relatively new to me and never been used. I stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Copics. After looking at many different paper pads I settled on this old BasicGrey Kioshi. I do have a few spare paper pads in my cabinet (ahem). Must use the old along with the new. I opened the pad and these pieces were already cut exactly as is so there's my layout. You can barely see the green but it's peeking there along the edges.
All the little die cut flowers were scattered on the ground as a nod to the upper right inspiration photo.
We all would love to see you play along just for fun and possibly to be one of our creative winners. You may even be the lucky random prize winner of this very cute die:
The team has some fun cards for you to see on the Double D Challenge blog. I hope to see your project there too. Wishing you the best day ever!

What a cute card! I showed it to Jennifer who loves frogs and she gave it a thumbs up! Isn't it nice that you had the right size pieces already to go! Love that when it happens. I love the mood board as well. We had a old Chevy truck when we were in business and I still say it helped bring my first child into this world with all the bouncing around! LOL!
That frog prince makes me smile and he is just adorable. The scattering of flowers along the bottom is such a nice touch and one that I will remember. Great way to come back for sure.
ROTFL!! What a great card, Leslie - love your intricate coloring. Those old wood mount stamps are among my faves. What really got me laughing was the DD mood board! LOVING your take on it! Your card would make a wonderful anniversary card! LOL hugs, de
Nailed it! What a fabulous card Leslie! Amazing coloring and designing! Love it!

YOu always seem to find just that perfect bit of paper to add to your cards for the perfect touch of color and interest.

Great image for this challenge, so fun and your coloring is wonderful, just brought that little guy alive :). I like how you matched the flowers in his hand with the little die cut flowers. The papers are perfect with the image too!!
Welcome back Leslie! It's a joy to see your wonderful creations again. Love this whimsical frog riding his Penny Farthing bike! He looks like he's on a mission with that lovely bouquet of flowers in hand. Brings back memories of a play I saw many years ago, "The Frog Prince". Your coloring is magnificent as always too.
OMG Leslie, that frog is the cutest on his Penny Farthing. The splash of flowers in the background are perfect ♥
Leslie, this is just as cute as can be!! What great luck to have the perfect papers already cut for this charming toad on wheels. You've colored him up perfectly. So adorable!!
That’s a really great stamp so happy and quirky. I am interested to see that you used copies on watercolour paper, I would ever think to do that but it looks fabulous. Those papers work really well too. I am pleased to hear that I am not the only slow coach crafter xx
Fun card Leslie. Love that king front riding his bike. Made me smile. :) Lovely design. xx
Oh my GEEEEE!!! I simply ADORE that fabulous frog! He just makes me smile, as does your card. Wonderful design and colors. This is simply adorable!!!
What a great image to use for a "wheels" challenge! Your coloring is amazing, as always, and I love the layout and all the little extra details.
Oh my gosh...This is so cute! I adorable frogs and this one is just fantastic. Love how you colored it and all the great papers/embellishments you used make it extra fun and special.
This is absolutely delightful, Leslie! I know you must have smiled the whole time you were working with this prince! You papers are perfect as always!
Hee hee How fun is this guy. Those tiny flowers are darling and go great with the dp. Charming!
