Good morning, friends! Welcome to the first round of Dueling Darlings! Many of you have seen our badges, but we are finally launching into full battle! What is are the Dueling Darlings? We are a group of friends that have been crafting together and have taken a new twist on crafting to "duel"! We, the Deuling Darling Divas, have one image/card kit to work with and the other half, the Dueling Darling Dazzlers, have another image/card kit with the same theme! The object is to see what we came up with using this theme, what stamp was picked and how the divas/dazzlers created with it! Now ... LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!
The theme this month: "I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!" It's still summer, and one of the best summer treats is ice cream!
First up this month was Kelly ~ and if you are just now seeing my cards, start there to see the entire list of Divas!
I created the card above for you:
I chose to do a easel card using my card kit. The only thing I added was the dark brown paper otherwise everything else you see was in my kit...fun, fun, fun.
Now make sure to stop by to see the Divas and then your final stop will be the Dazzlers! This is just a friendly joust ~ no winners, certainly no losers! Just a craftin', loveable group of friends taking on a monthly joust at card making!
** DUEL! **
