Dynamic Duos #3

Time
to get dressed for a black tie event, with the option of dessert being included!  The event is being held at Dynamic Duos for
Challenge #3 and the dessert option is to add dry embossing!

 Entrance to the event requires you to complete a project using Daffodil Delight & Basic Black (or similar colors).  Neutrals are allowed as well.  You can stay for dessert by adding Dry Embossing to your project!

My favorite technique with the Card Word Puzzle flowers is to stamp multiple times and layer the flower.  I added shading with a marker to add more depth to the flower.

  2. Your sympathy card is beautiful! I love the dotted swiss textured background on the body of the card. The black flourish bling coming from the flower is really striking and goes perfectly with the black accent stripe. Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

  7. Beautiful card, I especially like the way you did your flower. I don't think of yellow for a sympathy card ('cause I don't usually do ANYthing with yellow), but it's jut lovely!
    Cheers, Karen
