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!

I totally see your inspiration, perfectly translated! Love your design and the gorgeous foliage--I think any type of foliage as pretty as this makes for a beautiful card! Well done, my friend! Oh and your sweet little kitty too lol
WOW this is so creative and awesome! LOVE how you created the wall & floor! The hanging vine is fabulous and love the kitty! Such beautiful inspiration!
Awwwwwwww...what a sweet kitty Mooch is, staring up at the greenery! You have used the color green just beautifully with this card Leslie...totally in LOVE with it!! Hugs. :0)
Oh, Leslie! Your vining leaves are just so wonderful - do you think Mr. Kitty is watching for a little friend to stop by?
Such a gorgeous inspiration!

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!
Your card came together so beautifully! Love the leaf pattern climbing on the vine and your cat is so darling! Your green reminds me of At. Patrick's Day coming up!
This is gorgeous. I love the green and your amazing colouring. An excellent card. As green is my favourite colour, I am sure I must be able to enter this one. Hope I get round to it in time! Thanks for the inspiration xx
Stunning design, Leslie. That wall of climbing foliage is so beautiful. Mooch looks like he may be thinking of scaling that wall. I just love the color green!
WOW! What gorgeous leaves, Leslie! Your coloring is spot on and I love the ink swiping on the wall and floor! I'm right there with Mooch admiring this!
Your leaves are so fabulous, Leslie but it's that sweet little cat that I can't stop looking at! This is just darling!
Wow gorgeous card Leslie, those cascading leaves and tendrils are so pretty. The cat looks like she's ready to start playing with them :)
This is very cool Leslie. I love how you created the background with your stamp pad! Such a great green scene! 💕Sue Kment
This is gorgeous Leslie, and so whimsical. I adore sweet little Mooch and I imagine he's wondering if that plant vine will hold him. You did a great job creating the wall in the background and the floor. I'm always enamored with your use of Lavinia stamps. I have some that have never seen ink. I don't know why I'm so afraid to try them. Perhaps with the right kind of encouragement, I'll overcome my fear. Until then I'll keep enjoying your creations.
I am picking my jaw up from the floor! My mouth is wide open as I look at this card. You do amazing things with your Lavinia stamps, and I love it. I totally see where your inspiration came from and I noticed your photography as well.
I love how you used the leaf stamp, like all the squiggles behind. The swiping of the inks on the paper for the background gives such a cool effect, of course I love the little kitty that reminds me of our cat Buttons :)
This is sooo very pretty and I like the cat looking at the beautiful foliage.

This is so beautiful. Love the cascading leaves - a beautiful stamp. The swiping of the ink pad and the little splatter of burgundy adds interest to your card. Love Mooch as well, so sweet. Leslie, you're cards are always inspirational! Amazing as always! Have a wonderful day.
This is a fabulous card Leslie, you know you had me when you added the kitty, a beautiful design, love how the kitty is complicating if it should go for those leaves or not, my kitties would definitely go for it lol!! A lovely design as always!!
Such a beautifully inspired creation. Oh my the coloring on those leaves is absolute perfection with stunning dimension.. can see the curvature and depth. WOW!
What a lovely design using the gorgeous Lavinia stamps, stunning and love the beautiful colours x
Gorgeous, Leslie! I'm so far behind, but off to catch up.
What a sweet card. Love the cat image and of course those pretty leaves. I love how you swiped the ink on the card (may have to copy that idea!)
Oh wow, this is gorgeous. You had me at the beautiful vine and your wonderful design. But that sweet little kitty just takes this to a whole other level. I just ADORE this card!!
Another pretty one. LOVE LOVE LOVE the kitty stamp you added to this lovely scene! The perfect touch. 💕Sue Kment
