Dynamic Duos #6


I have been watching this new Challenge blog from the sidelines called Dynamic Duos. I love how it's just 2 colors. I can definitely handle that!




I love the colors for this week's Challenge. I don't own all of the SU colors yet. But I was able to make do.



I just acquired PTI's Iconic Images set. At first it didn't appeal to me but it's slowly been growing on me.

I stamped then cut out the water pitcher. The flowers are from PTI's Year Of Flowers set. A few of the flowers with stems fit really nicely into the pitcher. I tried a few different looks out but I like this one best.

The gladiolus were hand cut and adhered. Not because I like to fussy cut, but because the copic marker I initially used didn't match too well with the cardstock.

I am in the midst of learning how to stamp images in black, scanning them, and then making my own die cut files in the Silhouette Cameo. I am really, really excited because it seems to be working out very well. I'll be able to save a lot of money on dies to spend more on stamps!!

(My craft room is not completely done yet. I hope to have it presentable for a picture soon.)
Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: PTI Iconic Images, Year of Flowers
Ink: Amuse Slate, Memento Black, Copic Markers
Paper: PTI Sweet Blush, Rustic Cream
Misc: Pop Dots

  2. What a great card. I never thought to put flowers in that vase, but it's a really great idea. I am also loving this new challenge. 2 colors is often just the perfect number. (plus, I am encouraged--this is the only challenge where I have received 2 shout outs!)

  4. Now aren't you the smartest person around, making your own cut files with your cameo! I bet you will save a bunch of money and those files will make it so much nicer to paper piece images. You did a great job coloring your flowers, they look beautiful in the Iconic Images water pitcher Susan.
