Here is the sketch
I have a beautiful bouquet of flowers to share.
Double Trouble Thing One challenge is "Keep Calm and Stitch On"
I used the Whimsey Embossing Die Cuts from Stampin' Up! for the border of the white piece. The 2 paper strips are from the stash. The pretty bouquet is from a package of pre-colored floral die cuts that I have lost the label.
I have a commission to make 2 retirement cards, one for male, one for female. So I just continued with this sketch and did a twofer and threefer.
The sentiments are done on the computer. On the feminine one instead of a strip of paper, I used a piece of netting which came from a package of a variety of specialty textured pieces from a facebook ad. I don't remember the company but I really like all their pieces for accents.
On this masculine one I rotated the sketch and stamped the globe form a Tim Holtz travel set in the background.
Check out all the design team ideas from these 2 blogs to get some inspiration for a creation of your own to share with us.
You have extra time with this challenge. It will run until December 3.
