I'm pretty bummed today. This is my last card challenge for Dynamic Duos. Dynamic Duos has decided to
end their challenges (sniff, sniff). They really helped me think outside the box and
use colors that I would never have put together. I will miss entering
their challenges every week. I now have to find another color challenge to participate in.Dynamic Duos last challenge is to use So Saffron, Pool Party and Smoky Slate. I love these colors together. They are so "springy" looking.
I used a water color pen and water colored the inks across the card. I let it dry, ran the water colored paper through the Cuttlebug with the "Happy Birthday" embossing folder. To finish off the card, I attached "Pool Party" cording, a small piece of yellow ribbon (sorry, I don't know who made the yellow ribbon, it was in my leftover box), a "Pool Party" button and two flowers from Prima Marketing "Essential Shabby Chic" that I inked with "So Saffron" and "Pool Party". It's hard to see the "Pool Party" inked flower, which is behind the "So Saffron" flower.
I have to end this post on a "laugh out loud" note though. I saw this on facebook and just had to share it. The dog, Cooper, reminds me of my dog, Sebastian. The video is only 40 seconds long. Enjoy!
What a pretty card Sue! I love those colors together too...so soft and springy! I'm sorry to hear about Dynamic Duos ending...I know how much you've loved playing along with them!
