Dutch Dare Card Challenge #48

This week the challenge was to make a card using the colors blue, white & your choice. For my 3rd color I chose silver. I ended up picking out some pp from my DCWV stack 'Blossoms & Butterflies' which was how I actually decided on my silver color :-) I wanted to try something I hadn't yet done on my cards so this card took me a bit longer to complete as I played around with several different layouts before deciding on the final one. I'm pleased how this card turned out and hopefully you'll like it too :-)

Dutch Dare Card Challenge #47

I had a lot of fun trying out new things for this card. This is my first card in which I've used 2 different embossing techniques...can you spot them? I also just bought the Alice Anya digital stamp today and thought she would look cute as a 'daughter' on this card....see she's carrying a present (embellishment made by me) for her mom for Mother's Day. Coloring these digital stamps has been an issue and I'm still trying to figure out the right combo for me. I've given up blending my watercolor pencils until I can get some no bleed marker paper and look forward to the arrival of my new Copic markers :-P
