What are the Dueling Darlings? We are a group of friends that met on SCS, travel in each other's swaps 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 a different 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!
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, who sent us these great supplies!
The cardstock I added was Prety in Pink, So Safron and of course Chocolate Chip. I used Copics to color and Kelly sent American Crafts Designer Paper, along with the flowers, buttons and ribbon.
Now make sure to stop by to see the Divas and then your final stop will be a link to take you to see what the Dazzlers created! We are a big group of 14, so this might take awhile ~ and 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!

Barb, this is absolutely beautiful! I love the way you used the kit items. The layout is perfect! The image is beautifully colored and I love the shape you used to cut it out. The pearls for buttons was a clever idea. Awesome job!!!

Beautiful card, Barb! Love the layout and how you incorporated all the elements of the card kit, especially the d.p. panels which really focuses on this sweet Kiki LaRue!!!
