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!
This is such a beautiful card my friend. I love your kite and the little critter flying his own kite. You are an inspiration to me!

ReplyDeleteLeslie, 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!

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!
ReplyDeleteAdorable 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
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!!!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, 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.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love all the details - looks amazing and very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteDarling scene Leslie! So SO CUTE! I love it!
