DD#1: STAMPIN' UP!'S GROWING GREEN - SECOND VERSION!

Earlier today, in this post, I shared my excitement about the new Dynamic Duos challenge blog, started up by the lovely and multi-talented challenge site queen, Lesley Croghan.  Well, while I was playing around with ideas for my entry in the challenge, I started off white-embossing my images on Crumb Cake card.  I abandoned that idea, and went with a clean white slate.

Tonight I revisited my 'rejected' piece, and decided to work on it a bit.  The result - it was salvaged, and I've come up with a second card for the Dynamic Duos Challenge #1 :)  I promise this will be my last blog post for the day! 

Here are the challenge colours (which can be combined with neutrals, such as white, black, Crumb Cake):





.... and here is the very different card I made:




Stamps: Growing Green, Field Flowers
Card: Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Pool Party stampin' pad and marker, Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Lucky Limeade marker
Other: White embossing powder, Framed Tulips embossing folder, Neutrals brads, Mat Pack and paper piercing tool, White gel pen, Decorative Label punch, Lucky Limeade baker's twine, sponge dauber



I've been a bit busy in my craft room today, so make sure you visit again tomorrow - I have more to share with you!

    What a brilliant save from the 'reject' corner of your craft desk. So glad you decided to salvage your first attempt as this one is gorgeous too. Thanks for playing along the second time around.

    This is so pretty, love the white embossing on the kraft! I'm so glad it didn't end up in the bin :)
