Hello friends,
A card to share for the new challenge at Double D Challenges. The theme for our two weekly challenge this time is “Let’s POP a Wheelie”. The inspiration picture says it all – use anything that has wheels! For more information about the challenge and the prize up for grabs visit the Double D Challenge blog and start creating – we would love to see your card.
I discovered this golden oldie in my Penny Black storage box and I love the cute mouse with the flower cart – he looks so happy! I kept the layout simple with two die cut lace strips to frame the image. I lifted the panel with the image from the base card with mirror tape for dimension. To finish off I added pink butterflies, glitter and a die cut sentiment. The coloring was done with my Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils.
I entered my card in the following challenges:
- Scrapy Land Challenges #97 (ends 09/19) – Anything Goes with a die cut from a brand that Scrapy Land sells. (Dies: Paper Rose die “Madison Lace Edge” (16942) — Sizzix Thinlits ” Phrases, Thank You & Flamingo” (662724))
