Dueling Divas


Hello ~ Hello

Here is my card for this month's dueling divas kit challenge - this month's hostess was Jamie.  This month's theme is masculine in honor of all the great men in our lives :) Of course my Dad would be the great guy in my life. :) He's always there encouraging me and supporting me when I need it the most (and also keeping me "grounded" which is not always so easy to do).

Jamie sent us a fun kit with images from SU! Open Sea. I really liked the boat image so that is what I went with. I used most of the adorable DSP that is from Bo Bunny. The only thing added to the card NOT from the kit is the blue cloud, which I punched out.

Here is the inside of my card:



I hope you enjoyed my post for the day.......be sure to check out all the rest of the Duel (note you may need to scroll down a bit on their blogs, since I am posting 2 days late this month) :( 

Judy, Barb,  Laura Jean (me) Judy, Jamie,  Kelly and Carol

LJ, your card is worth the wait! You did a fantastic job with all the kit elements. I love how you created the three panels using the d.p. with the ribbon between the panels. Love how you cut the sailboat image so it seems to float out of the circle layers and your punched out cloud is the perfect touch! Beautiful job on the interior of the card too!! You knocked this challenge out of the park!!!

Look how much of the kit you were able to use! That is great. I like how you used so much of the kit, without making the card too busy.
