Hey there bloggers!
Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day!
Today, I'm sharing a couple of cards. One is for the new challenge at the Double D Challenge Blog and the other is a CAS Valentine I mailed this past week. The challenge theme for the next two weeks at the Double D is "BIRDS". The mood board offers lots of inspiration, both colors and images. The details can be found HERE. Stop by, play along and you could be a creative or prize winner.
Here's my inspiration using the flamingo photo...
This card was so fun to put together. I love the bright pink flamingos in this paper collection. It's been in my stash for a while and I was happy to have the opportunity to use it. I stamped, die cut the sentiment and gave it extra dimension by matting and adding foam tape. I have a tropical leaf die cut that matched the leaves in the paper, so I cut a couple and tucked them in around the sentiment. A few dew drops completed the embellishing.

Next up is a clean and simple Valentine...
This CAS Valentine came together easy peasy. I die cut a heart along the edge of the patterned paper and adhered a scrap of the base color, then matted it with black. The gold mini hearts are cut from a bubblegum machine die set.
