Pinkfresh Double Duty!

Here we are on the 22nd and that means it is time for another Double Duty Challenge.

This is a challenge created by Barb and I'm having a lot of fun playing along. On the 22nd of the month (note the double in the date) we have a predetermined stamp company or theme, and we are to make 2 different cards, using the same stamp set and as many of the same elements on each card.  Creating as many doubles as we can.

This month we feature any stamp set by Pinkfresh Studios. I used "Handpicked Flowers" stamps, dies, and stencils.

My first card is created by gold embossing the image, die cutting it and then blending inks onto it using the layering stencils.

I used "Ornate Banners" dies by Pinkfresh Studios to cut two background layers.  The pale yellow has a little ink blended around the edges to give it more definition. 

The sentiment is also by Pinkfresh and is part of their Foiled Sentiments pack.  The card is embellished with three Ombre Glitter Drops by Pinkfresh Studios.

The second card features a gold embossed image (double duty) on a black panel.

The image is watercolored with some shimmery paints and die cut with "Ornate Banners" dies, layered onto a larger panel also from the same die set (double duty again)

This photo shows sequins for embellishments, however the sequins did not survive the flight back home. (This card was made at the No Foolin' Retreat organized by Barb)  I added the same Ombre Glitter drops used on the first card in place of the sequins (another double duty)

I really like how both of these cards turned out. I'll be using this set again, that's for sure!
