Happy Thursday, my crafty friends! Today I have a card that I would like to enter in this weeks Double D Challenge, which is called the "Twine Challenge". It is just what it says. Use twine on your project.
My card was created a bit ago, but it was never posted. I remember finding this lovely piece of double sided, designer paper in my stash. (My friend Carol told me the name...Soho Garden by American Crafts) I adored the color combo and I went with it! I also used a deckle edge panel and cut a hole in it with a SB circle die, to let the paper show through. A banner was cut for the top and the bakers twine bow was added. My stamps are from Stampin Up! set called "Beautiful You". I water colored my image with a water brush and inks. A bit of shine was added to the puddle.
Yesterday we survived horrid winds and today we are back to frigid temps. Is it really April? I have seen the "S" word in the extended forecast quit a few times into next week. Today is the parade for Villanova, for their National Championship, Opening day for the Phillies, and a real good day to either join the fun or avoid Philadelphia! I think I will get my thrills by TV.

The paper you used is also one of my favorites! Love this design and how you colored the image to match! Such a pretty card!
Mary Anne, I LOVE your card! The design is over the top and that image fits it so perfect. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!
Good idea to watch it all on TV today. I saw that on the news about the possible "s" word. Hope it misses you.
