Hello friends. Playing along with 2 challenges today...
Color Throwdown is looking for the colors Mint, Red, & Pink, and
Double D is looking for TWINE on your cards. And don't you just love it when you can make 2 challenges work together?!! I LOVE the colors again this week for the
Color Throwdown challenge, and I use twine on most of my cards these days...I think it's replacing the ribbon I used to add to ALL my cards! :0)
Here's what I came up with using this week's colors and an outlining technique from Stephanie Gold:
I used Altenew's
Beautiful Day stamp set to stamp the solid image of the flowers in Red and Pink, and the leaves in Mint Green. Then using Stephanie's technique, I offset the outline image in black to give a more "artsy" feel to my card. I added a little strip of DSP from MFT's
Black & White Stripes 6 x 6 Paper Pack and a piece of black Baker's Twine (SU!) to finish off my card.
You can check out both of these challenges right
HERE (
Color Throwdown) and
HERE (
Double D - Twine). LOT'S of beautiful inspiration from both teams!! :0)
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Wow Marcia! What a fabulous card and a great way to fit it into so many challgnes. I love those gorgeous blooms stamped like that!!
Way to go girlfriend! Yes, I love it when two challenges can work together, I am usually not that clever to search and figure it out...LOL! But your card is stunning and how clever to use the current MIM technique once again! Love it my friend!

Another beauty using this technique, Marcia! Love the black and white stripes and black twine that embellish these pretty flowers!

FABULOUS! One of my most favorite Altenew sets, they just do florals beautifully! Love your colors and design and your twine accent! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Double D Challenge Blog, Twine, Donna DT Member.
Marcia, this is SUCH a stunning take on Stephanie's challenge! I am just in LOVE with those beautiful, luscious, colorful blooms!
So pretty! Those floral images are perfect for your offset stamping technique. Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
I love the artsy look of your card and you got two challenges out of it. Way to go. The striped border on the side really sets off the twine. Glad that you shared this with us at Double D Challenge Twine.
Hope to see you again.
