Double Trouble Challenge #197 ~ 3-2-1 You're in the Spotlight

Hi Crafty Friends,
Double Trouble Challenge #197 is now open.3-2-1 "You're in the Spotlight"

Our challenge has 3 options so you'll want to visit the blog (link above) for a detailed explanation.

Each option gives you more chances in our Random Drawings.

Here's my project for #197 and how I interpreted all the Things!

Thing 1 Trouble Maker offers the 3-2-1 challenge:

3 COLORS - mine are orchid, violet, and black

2 LAYERS - I think adding mats adds so much to the design and the spotlight image is popped up

1 SPOTLIGHT TECHNIQUE  - You can check YouTube for tutorialsheck 

  the first time I've tried i

You may stop with Thing 1's challenge but to add a little more fun we have Thing 3 Twisted Sister's optional twist: - USE ONE OR A COMBO OF BIRDS, BUTTERFLIES, BLOOMS. I've used Gina K Designs Ruffled Blooms stamp, stencil, die set

And finally, to support our sister challenge blogs, Thing 2's Double Dare is to use the upcoming TSOT sketch #676.  That post isn't live until Tuesday but you can see a sneak peek in the graphic above.  The sketch is for inspiration.

I'll be back bi-weekly on Mondays to share more Double Trouble challenges.

I hope you'll play along.

Cut it Up Challenge #328 ~ Starts with a C

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for Easter.  Even though my "girls" are adults, we still love Easter Brunch, Easter Baskets, and Egg Hunts!!  How about you?
It's also time to share our next Cut it Up Challenge ~ Starts with a C.
This is one of the Easter cards I mailed out this year.

This is a mini stamp set from Jaded Blossom.  The dies are an add on.  The tag is also a Jaded Blossom as are the adorable glasses.
Here's the card I shared on the CIU blog.

I designed this card for my hubby's birthday and then realized there were Cattails - woohoo.

The stamp is from Gina K designs and the stencil is from SCT.  I used Jaded Blossom's stitched ovals and card mat dies along with So Many Birthdays stamp and die.

We hope you'll play along HERE.
