You're the Best Card

 Hey guys,

I'm up on the blog with another challenge, this time it's for the Double Trouble Paper Crafting gals. This is a fun group, if you haven't heard of them head over and check them out HERE...they are always coming up with such fun challenges from Thing 1, Thing 2 and Thing 3!  I mean who isn't a Dr. Seuss fan?!?!   

I'm also playing along with Critter Crazy Challenge Blog, Challenge #94 ANYTHING GOES, click HERE for more info on that blog challenge!

This is for Challenge #182 3-2-1 Recipe "Warm & Cuddly, click here for more info.   For my card I chose the 3 colors of Blues, Oranges and Pinks; 2 layers (I actually did 3 not counting my card base) and 1 warm or cuddly image.

I started out with a pattern paper with different shades of Orange and a little bit of pattern in it.  I have had this paper in my stash for a while and then it ended up in my scraps and now I've used it up...Yay me!! I cut it to an A2 card base and then grabbed my nesting dies with this cool postage stamp edge in 2 different shapes (square and rectangle) that I got from Cottage Cutz.  I cut 3 panels (2 square and 1 rectangle) and blended them with some Tim Holtz distressed oxides in Salty Ocean.  I tried to use the masking technique prior to blending and for this being my first time, I'm not mad at it.

I added a little bit of foam adhesive to the one panel and to the smallest sentiment panel and adhered it down.  I then stamped my image from a  PENNY BLACK stamp called HEARTS APLENTY...how cute is that image.  I colored it using my Spectrum Noir markers (I am still trying to learn how to shade so no judging).

The 2 sentiments came from my stash of stamps that I've had forever.  I added some bling and done!  I would say this came together rather quickly but I would be lying...it took me 3 times to color that image before I liked it.

Thanks for hanging out with me and don't forget to head over to the DOUBLE TROUBLE PAPER CRAFTING BLOG site to find some really fun challenges with some cool twists!

Stay crafty my friends!

Kimberly
