Good morning :)   Today’s Technique Lover’s Challenge is to use different pattern DPs in the same card.   Oh cool, I thought.  An easy peasey challenge.   Afterall, I have Dp… and lots of it.  I hoard the stuff!  

There’s only one problem with a challenge like this…. the choices!   I have too many of them.  Not just DP, but stamps, embellishments, etc.   I’m now sporting three drawers of ribbon.. three drawers! (these are BIG drawers, too!).   I have an entire drawer devoted just to brads.. another drawer of smaller DPs and a huge cabinet filled with other assorted goodies.   When am I ever going to use all this stuff? LOL.  Do you ever feel like that?   Silly thing is, I really need a trip to JoAnn’s.  Bahaha!!

So, I picked my Basic Grey 2 Scoops paper.   I have only used it a little bit and just love the colors.  So springy!   I had a tough time with the patterns though.   Still drawn back to what my mother would say.   I threw caution to the wind and used dots and swirls.   Yeah, that goes together… ?   You be the judge.

After I decided on colors, this came together really quickly.  Nothing too fancy here.  The PiP is embossed with the Swiss dots EF, the cupcake was stamped, colored and decorated with white sprinkles.. ala my white gel pen.   Since the image is so small, I matted it up with several layers and the rest is history!

Here are my deets:

Stamps:  Icing on the Cake by My Favorite Things’ (www.mftstamps.com)

Colors: Regal Rose, Barely Banana, Pretty In Pink, Wild Wasabi and Basic Grey 2 Scoops DP

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics, white gel pen

Accessories: yellow brads, ribbons, dimensionals, scallop punch, word window punch, several circle punches, swiss dots EF

TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
