Hello friends,
A new challenge starts today at Double D Challenges. Team Diane is hosting this challenge with the theme “When Skies are Gray”. Just look at the pretty mood board – use some gray and also add
patterns, textures and objects from board. The Design Team have created a bunch of beautiful cards to inspire you – a visit to the Double D Challenge blog will be worthwhile. We have also a fun prize to give away to one lucky player which will be chosen by Random.org.
This card was a challenge for me as I struggled to get gray colored paper between my heaps of papers.At the end of a long search I found a few leftovers from previous projects to layered my background. For the pattern component I added a Spellbinders flower die cut and polka dot paper. A strip of lace for texture forms the basis for the happy bunnies. I finished off with white roses, waxed cord bows, pearls, white hearts and a “Best wishes” sentiment.
I entered my card in the following challenges:
- My Time To Craft Challenge #365 (ends 03/09) – Monochromatic
- 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge #12 (ends 03/25) – Anything Goes with a Critter
- Crafty Animals Challenge #12 (ends 03/27) – Anything Goes
- Scrapy Land Challenges #85 (ends 03/21) – Anything Goes with a die cut from a brand that Scrapy Land sells. (Dies: Spellbinders Venise Lace Designer series “Emmeline Treillage” (S5-311) — Impression Obsession die “Three Bunnies” (DIE043-G) — Impression Obsession die “Best Wishes” sentiment (DIE386-F) — Memory Box die “Heart Waterfall” (No. 99079)
- Monochrome Magic Challenge #8 (ends 03/12) – Anything Goes Monochrome
- {PIN}spirational Challenge #210 (ends 03/12) – Inspirational picture ( I was inspired by the gray and white bunny)

One of my all time favorite moodboards. Your design is soft and lovely and even feels springy despite the muted colors, especially with Easter coming early and so much snow still on the ground! 🙂 Hugs, Autumn
