Hello you! Time for a new challenge at Double D. It's Darlene's turn to create an inspiration board and I love what she came up with. Things that Fly.
I thought it would be fun to go fly a kite, so I die cut one from designer paper and added it to a framed scene. There's a cute little Penny Black critter flying his own kite, too. I used bits and pieces for the scene, including a scalloped ridge on the hillside. Hey, when it's your own scene you can imagine it any way that suits your fancy.
I'm listing all ingredients below my signature, but I do want to mention the blue sky background. I used my Memory Box Waves 3D embossing folder for that. When you turn the waves upside down they do give the impression of wind. Not that you can actually see wind. I used a lightly shaded watercolor piece from my bag o' backgrounds for the windy sky.
Here's a prize for this challenge:
We vote for creative winners, too. Come share with us on the Double D blog. The team has plenty of delightful inspiration for you. Enjoy!

What a FABULOUS card you've created with so much detail Leslie!! I love, LOVE your wind...what a clever idea!! And both kites and your little critter are definitely bringing sunshine to this sweet, sweet card...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
This is so adorable and so full of rich texture! From the printed papers to the embossing, there's just so much to love about this sweet scene. Maybe in the world of this little mouse, you can see the wind. I think so!
This is just a delightful Spring scene, Leslie! So many details, texture and dimension. Mr. Mouse is so cute flying his beautiful kits! Happy, happy, happy!
What an amazing scene you have created! Loving that beautiful kite die and that sweet little mouse enjoying his kite flying too! The Designer Papers, the texture, the fence the sentiments are all fabulous! Penny was just screaming, uhm I mean singing Let's Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins while swinging the other day. This is FUN!!!
Oh my gosh, so much to love here. The "wind" is brilliant.
This is just the cutest scene ever! How creative for the wind too, I love when you can use something for an entirely different purpose then it was meant for!! These are my favorite kind of little mice, on paper!! He is the cutest flying his kite in the wind, love every detail about this card!!

OH WOW ... this is SO creative! I love how your creative mind works! Your paper kite is precious and ties in with that cute little image so well! YOU GO GIRL ... thanks for another amazingly inspiring DT project! HUGS
Talk about creative, I love the embossed background to show the wind it is just perfect with the kite and I do love your scalloped hill, I recognized the basic grey papers for the grass, so pretty. I love how it is all framed with your embossed background and the touch with the fence, another fabulous card!
When I came to your blog my face just lit up with this adorable card! All the different dies especially the kite and the fabulous little mouse add to its cuteness! Great idea to turn the waves upside down!! Brings back a lot of memories!
So beautiful Leslie! I must say you create scenes like no other! You just blow me away with your card designs. Love all the details on your card, the upside down waves is very unique the way you used it for your sky, the fence, kite and your little mouse just darling. This just makes me smile! Thank you for sharing today.
Have a wonderful day!
Oh my - what a delightful card, Leslie! Very whimsical and cute. I love all the different patterns and swirls all over the place!
I'd say you imagined this scene perfectly, Leslie! Love this kit that looks like it's soaring in the spring winds and the sweet little critter with his kite too!
Wow I like everything about this one! Such a fun scene!
Wow so many wonderful elements to that blustery scene. Love the sky, that cute fence and the adorable little mouse ♥
Lovely creative and awesome post.. A wonderful design with a great background and a perfect sentiment as well!
Leslie, I LOVE your scene: the kite-flying mouse, rolling hills, and your windy sky is so creative! Just the kind of wind one wants to sail a kite!
Such a delightful card!

You are a virtuoso when it comes to using different supplies for this card. That embossing folder for the sky is one thing and then you used great papers for the grass, so unique! Nice Job!
Adorable card Leslie. I LOVE ALL your details. And I love that the mouse is flying his own small kite too. :) Made me smile. So creative and fun with the "windy" sky. And I love the patterened paper hills. xx
Oh, I LOVE your kite, that little mouse, and that FABULOUS embossed background that looks exactly like the wind would.....well, if we could see the wind...lol. This card is so stinkin' adorable, absolute GENIUS!!!
Omigosh, Leslie! I've counted at least 5 layers of detail on this card...and there might be more. This, to me, is what separates the artist from the crafter. :-) As I've said before, you are an artist. This is a darling card in all aspects.
Wow! Love all the details - looks amazing and very inspirational.
Darling scene Leslie! So SO CUTE! I love it!
