Double D, Designer Paper

Good Morning! 


A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog





Here is your Inspiration Tile:  


Designer Paper.


Here is what I created:




I used several pieces of the Carta Bella Designer Paper,
Simple Village Spring Garden.  Some have a collage style look.
Gina K Designs Wishful Florals stamp and die sets.
GKD and Brutus Monroe Collab Seeds Of Joy stamp set.
I layered a lot of the papers and I even stitched around the
border of the top 2 layers on the base of my card.





I distressed all of the card stock edges to give it more of a shabby chic vibe.
Tuxedo Black ink.
Clear Embossing Powder.
Heidi Swapp Hot Pink Color Shine.
Sheer Ribbon.
Foam Sheets.




Inside.
Isn't that a wonderful sentiment???




Dimension.  Stitching.  Layers upon Layers.
Love it!




Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!




You'll be glad you did as there is always a pretty prize up for grabs!





Here's the prize for this Challenge:

Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!


This is for our favorite restaurant owner, Gabe.
He runs the Hot Stove Saloon in Harwich Port and we have been 
going there for 20 years, since he opened.
Back in 2017 when he found out we were going to be Grandparents he gave 
us a sweet little HSS T-shirt for the baby, Penny.
Last week we had her for a few days and took her there, she finally 
got to meet Gabe and when he saw her he said 'come with me'
Penny is now the owner of a very stylish HSS Sweatshirt!
Gabe is just too, too kind!

Oh, and if you ever go, order the Zucchini Fries!

Love that aged and weathered look!





I find it helpful to start with a shade of blue or teal card stock
when creating a patina.
This looks blue here but there is much more green in it.
