Hi! Double D Challenge day is here again, and Diane is asking for something old, something new, something borrowed and/or blue. It does not have to be a wedding card. Check out the inspiration board and the prize that's up for a random winner. I'm sure you know we have creative winners, too.
I always use a lot of old and new together on my cards, and in this case the oldest of the old is the Bordering Blue Stampin' Up ink which I brushed onto the center oval. That ink pad is circa 2004, maybe older. The oval frame and the happy birthday sentiment go back to 2016. At that time I was new-ish to the world of decorative dies. I'd used basic shapes, but not much in the way of anything else. Well, we all know what that led to.
The new (to me) is Memory Box Clara Blooms and Nestled Chickadees. I don't have anything borrowed on this card, but I do have three shades of blue. Coloring is a mix of ink blending, water spritzing, and coloring with Tombow markers.
Other dies are listed below my signature.
This is a fun challenge and I hope you can play along with us. I'd love to see your old, new, borrowed and/or blue. The team has some inspiring cards to show you at Double D. I'm eager to hop around and get their back stories, too.
Take care, and have a wonderful day!

Wow! This is amazing! Such sweet little Chickadees and florals. I'm impressed with the sentiment die cut and think it is a perfect way to top off the card!
This card is pure delight for the bird lover!! Those chickadee's are darling. They're my favorite bird with their lighthearted song and friendly demeanor. The leafy frame and flowers bursting in blue, this is just lovely!!!
What a sweet, delightful design, Leslie! Those little chickadees have a happy tune going. Love all of your awesome dies especially the floral and border dies. The dark blue musical staff is a perfect touch.

There are so many interesting images on this card. I love the chickadees and that musical score die is amazing, and I have not seen it before, but love it on your card.
I love the tune your Chickadees are singing, Leslie! What a wonderful mix of old and new - all beautiful!
I have two SU ink pads from at least 2004 - they still work!
