It's Dueling Darlings Time!:o)

* Who are the Dueling Darlings? - you may ask - *

...and I couldn't sum it up any better than my friend Kelly, whose colorful lines below I cut and pasted...lol ...

so please read on my friends:

The Dueling Darlings are a group of friends from SCS that swap cards and beyond and formed a new group called the Dueling Darlings! Divided into Group A and B, which wasn't a cool name so we are now the Divas and the Dazzlers, have a montly rotating hostess kit that goes out to make cards! The Divas have one card kit to work with, while the Dazzlers have another! It's fun to see what we "duel" up in cardstock, papers and wonderful images!

......and now let's talk about this month card kit sent to the Dazzlers from our own dazzling Debbie ,affectionatly called lil dj amongst our friendly stampers' group.

The theme for this month was Treasured Friends and all of we partecipants needed to include a mistery item of our choice to our card. Such item must be something recycled or bought second hand... in short, it just cannot be a brand new item! Since I strongly believe in the power of reduce,reuse,recycle, I absolutly loved the theme chosen! :o)

The awesome,generous kit sent by lil dj contained the following :

SU image : My Matryoska

D/P from Kaiser Karft : Mumma Bushka-Msha n Mumma Bushka-Inka

Embellishments : SU red and navy grosgain ribbons, SU navy button,

                         two red hearts byCreative Impressions ,

                         one red flower from Prima Marketing

The mistery item I chose to use for this month DDD card is the green netting that was holding a bunch of yummy avocadoes :o)

Other deets I included : SU green  bazzil c/s, MS lattice punch , flower punch , dimentionals, SU markers.

I intended to use the full d/p buska image on it,therefore I also needed a larger card format .
My square card measures 6x6 inches. What do you think? Too big???????

Thanks for visiting my friends,
please make sure to pay a visit to each Darlings blogs or galleries ,and feast on their wonderfully creative talents!!  *have a GREAT day...it's Friday!!~~~wooot!~~~~* :o)
