Doubles....

Welcome - thank you so much for visiting my blog

This card was made for the monthly swap in a small, local group.

The challenge this month was 'double'  i.e. to use two of anything such as images, a double fold etc.

I amassed 11 doubles, not intentionally, but it worked out that way... 

some are obvious, some less so.

There were two layers over the card base, and two layers on the featured circles

The embossed panel had Memento Lulu Lavender in lightly rubbed over it, then two sprays were applied.  Lindy's Magical's Starburst French Lilac Violet and Cosmic Shimmer Pearl.

Unfortunately I could not get the subtle shimmer to show in the photos.

The two blooms (from a Wood Ware set) were white embossed and painted with watercolours

The two word sentiment was from Uniko, stamped in the second ink, Memento Grape Jelly.

Only two inks were used, and the stamps were from two companies.

I then added some bling in pairs on the front of the card, and also to either end of the two strips of off cuts that I used to decorate the inside.

A Curvy Two-Fer

Welcome

Yes, I am still here, and actually well, but I have been away at the beach on a couple of trips, and life is generally pretty busy when I am home - by the time the evening comes and my laptop comes out, I 'blob' behind the screen instead of being productive... 

The first of my cards was for a "Use Curves" challenge - both dies are unnamed

I cut the white card using both dies, and glued the resulting panel to the Forest Green base

The greeting was embossed using two colours of EP

A few clear sequins added to relieve the starkness

And sparkle green glitter tape adorned the inside and the envelope.

The Twofer:

This used the remnant of the white panel  from the first card, and the diecut of the lady

The sheen on the diecut of the lady was done by dabbing the diecut on my embossing pad, and then coating her in pearl perfect pearls

The gold was splatter on the "mop up" sheet that I used as the background panel.

The feature panel was mounted on Cranberry cardstock.

The inner was decorated with an offcut of the background, as was the envelope.
