Dueling Darlings and Divas!


Hello Hello

Time for the months duel between the Darlings and Divas.....Kelly is our Diva hostess this month, and the theme is "Are You Game"! I totally love this theme, as I love to play both board and card games. My favorites are Euchre and Cribbage although I am a bit rusty at both of them these days. Growing up I loved to play Monopoly and Life. I suppose the games of Candyland and Connect Four will be played soon as my niece gets older! Can't wait!

Kelly sent us an image from Whipper Snapper, "Pair of Aces". I decided to use two DSPs, the red and white striped Chevron is from Glitz in Town (a new company for me), and the yellow dotted is from Bo Bunny - Vintage Buttercup. I colored the image with copics and cut it out. The image is layered on a Spellbinders Heart Circle die. I also used two ribbons, Kaisercraft Flourishes wooden die-cut (the diamond-shaped accent), Kaiser Bling, and a Basic Grey Button. On the Kaisercraft wooden diamond I added a cherry-cobbler punched heart.


Thanks for stopping by today! Please be sure to go check out the other Divas and Darlings and see what they have created, as I am sure they all WINNERS! :)

Love that zig zag designer paper and how you added the "pops" of yellow. What a great idea to cut out the image and place the die cut behind it. Wonderful job!
