Today I am sharing my second card for Double Trouble challenge and unfortunately it's coming a little later than it should have but better late than never!
This time around Thing 1, the trouble maker, wants us to create something for a special lady. You can stop there or you can follow the Twisted Sister's (Thing 3) instructions and include flowers (optional) on your project. If you have made something for a Special Lady with Flowers then your project is also eligible for the Double Dare (Thing 2) who happens to be the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge this time.
For my project I made a CAS card using a beautiful digistamp from Power Poppy - Graceful Still Life. I colored with my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I tried to follow the optional mood board from the Beautiful Blossoms challenge (see below), it's not an exact match but pretty close.
The strip of paper is from my box of scraps. Sentiment is from the Penny Black set Heartfelt. I did some stenciling on the bottom portion (sorry I don't remember the name/brand of the stencil) and a bow with natural jute twine finishes off the card.
