Hello Challenge

A new challenge theme is up and running at 
Double D and it is 
Saying Hello...
you just need to have the word HELLO
somewhere on your project.

We have a super mood board to get your creativeness going!!



I had fun with my card using a stamp I won from a challenge
at Memory Box.
This stamp is HUGE and I have only used a small portion of it.
It comes with several sentiments and smaller pieces as well.

I used Distress inks and my ink blending brush,
added Versamark to the entire panel,
then embossed it with a clear embossing powder.
The hello I die cut 3 times then stacked one on the other.
It is from Paper Smooches.


Here is a closer look at the embossing .
It is much shiny IRL.
The pictures kind of make it look 'crackle-y but it really is not, just shiny.


This is a super easy challenge so hoping you will join us, we always have
a prize up for grabs, a top winner and  top 3!
Head on over to the Double D blog and see what amazing creations
the Design Team has come up with...ALL are fabulous!!

This design is super cool. The black frame and the black HELLO make for a fabulous CAS card. I am loving the script on the sentiment as well. I need to remember that I could add clear embossing powder to the entire card as this is too sweet I love the effect.

The thing I love about this community is how I'm constantly inspired and learning! I have never thought to clear emboss the whole front panel of a card and I think it's genius! Talk about a huge impact on an already gorgeous card!! Just WOW, Diane!! Hugs, Darnell
