All White for Birds, Blooms and Butterflies

                       Triple B January 2025 Challenge


Inspired by Darlene's all-white card, I worked on one of my own.  The butterfly and "perfect" are double layers for additional texture.

It's a Happy Birthday

                          9th Birthday/Anniversary Challenge At Double D


I chose some pretty DSP for my card front and added coordinating color birthday die cuts. "Happy" and the frame were cut from shimmery holographic cardstock.

It's Black on White

 

Black and white is really one of my favorite color combinations....in my clothing as well as for cards!  This color is the theme for the current Color Throwdown.




Winter with a Twist

 

Anything Goes Embossing with a Twist of WINTER


 Can You Handle the Pressure?  is featuring Winter-themed cards with just a twist.  
I pulled out some old wood-mounted stamps to find this happy snowman.  We have had very little snow this winter, but will probably get it in a month or so.

Freshly Made with Washi Tape

I have a drawer that contains many rolls of washi tape and I finally used one for this Freshly Made Sketch.

One Coffee, Please!



"We have an 
OPTIONAL theme and it is

Coffee~Cocoa~Warm Drinks "

I became a coffee drinker late in life, and I especially like sweet coffee.  In the past year, I began making iced coffee at home (with oat milk, for some reason).  When I visit my favorite coffee spot, I order a Buttercream White Mocha....white coffee, white chocolate, Irish cream (and an extra shot, which seems to cut the sweetness just a bit.)

Freshly Made with a Center Feature


I seem to be "hit and miss" with card-making over the past few months;  today, I worked on the card for Freshly Made Sketches.    The use of the DSP was kind of an experiment.  The center shape needed a partial frame to make it visible, so I chose metallic gold for it and the leafy border embellishment.
