Congratulations for being on the DT my friend with your close friend, Dolly:-) I LOVE your two cards with your sponged rainbow backgrounds, diecuts and silhouette stamps. TFS your cards and news:-) Hugs...I am off to check out Darnell's new challenge:-)
ReplyDeleteLove these, Loll! I am such a big fan of sponged backgrounds, I think it's one of my favorite techniques. The CAS style really lets the sponging take center stage on your beauties!
ReplyDeleteLove your two cards, Loll - great sunset colours and lovely silhouettes on them. And what exciting news - Darnell's challenge sounds like a great way to get more use out of our stamps. Can't wait to see the first prompt! Congrats on being on the Design Team!
ReplyDeleteAwesome background sponging - just gorgeous! Love your new challenge theme - of course I'll try to play as often as I can!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful and so simple. A great background doesn't need much else. Congratulations, I'm hopping over to have a look.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely, and makes me think of a fabulously brilliant western sunset sky. (We saw something like this in Murdo S. Dakota years ago). The sprigs look splendid silhouetted against that sunset too. Love the aperture dies, and I've enjoyed the dies purchased from Ali...just need to have patience in the shipping. Delighted to see you are a new designer at the Twofer. I know I'll be seeing some fab designs from you & Darnell! TFS & Merry Christmas. Best wishes for a wonderful 2018.
