Double D Challenge -- Going Green


Hi, friends!  A new Double D challenge begins today and this time Diane says we're "Going Green".  Anything green will do.  There's a beautiful mood board for inspiration.  It certainly did inspire me!  See the board and a prize pictured below:



The prize goes to a random winner, and creative favorites are voted on by the team.

My inspiration came from the upper left and the lower right corners of the board which, happily, prompted me to pull out a Lavinia Forest Leaf stamp which was a birthday present in October.



I colored with Copics, and Lavinia's Mooch came along to see how it turned out.  Inspired by the painted wall, upper left corner of the board, I swiped ink up the image panel directly from pad to paper.  Burgundy sprinkles were stamped as a finishing touch.

The Double D team has some beautiful ideas to share with you, so check them out.  We'd love to see your green, too!  Have a happy day!



Stamps:  Lavinia Forest Leaf, Lavinia Mooch, Stampin' Up Itty Bitty Backgrounds sprinkle (retired), Hero Arts Moments sentiment  Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth Solar White 80 lb, Stampin' Up Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss, Bravo Burgundy  Ink:  Same as cardstock plus Memento Tuxedo Black for Mooch, and Versamark for sentiment  Coloring:  Copics  Other:  Stampin' Up Subtle embossing folder on card base, WOW white embossing powder for sentiment, label die

How easy it is to get lost in the beauty and depth of this card, Leslie. I find your work with the Lavinia stamps to be mesmerizing! Your ink swiping makes the background so clever. I hope you are enjoying life's moments today. This stunning design made me stop and admire!
