Hello friends,
Today we have a fun new challenge at Double D Challenges . The theme for this fortnight is “All White”. I love working with lots of colors on my cards and is always in the deep end with “white” challenges. For my creation I decided on a shabby card with texture, layering, embossing and a few embellishments. To make the birdie, wreath and leaves pop on the white embossed background I used mirror tape to give some dimension. For embellishments I added two bows and a little music tag to match the embossed music background. To bring the little birdie to life a pearl necklace was the finishing touch. Hope you like my take on the challenge.
I entered my card in the following challenges:
- 613 Avenue Create Challenge #200 (ends 08/31) – Anything Goes/Optional Twist – Shabby Chic

No matter what the challenge you make it amazing every time, Amelia. I had a hard time with this one as I’m a color loving gal, too. Thank goodness for dies and embossing folders. This is so, so beautiful! I love birds and music themes together and you have all the perfect elements for this one. The staff on the tag is so cute!
