DDD: Kindness ♥

Good Morning, friends!

*I have two blog posts today - for  my The Project Bin Monday post, go here!

It's the 15th day of the month and that means the Dueling Darlings

are back with a new theme!

The Dueling Darlings are a group of 2 teams of card making friends -

Team Divas and Team Dazzlers!

This month, Jeanette and I were the hostesses to create card kits

and she was generous enough to let me chose the theme this month:

Kindness!

As many of you know, it's my Word of the Year as shared in this post ♥  

But kindness is truly more than just a word of the year,

it should be shared every day, in every way.

  

The kit I put together for Team Divas included an image that I ADORE!

It's from Unity stamps called Thank You Kindly 

I also sent a few kindness sentiments to use - one from Unity 

and the other from a Simon Says Stamps set.

Now for my card!

I sent out all the kits, one went to a sweet friend by accident,

another still out in lost mail land,

so I had to improvise with my card kit since I didn't have two extras.

I only had slivers of paper left.

And you know ... crafters gonna craft .... 

can't keep a good crafter down! 

 LOL!

 

 

 To come up with a plan B,
I used a watercolor stenciled background and stamped the image

directly onto the dried watercolor paper.

I took a stitched die and cut out the middle part of the image

and popped up the outer one on 3D foam for dimension.

In hindsight, I wish I'd cut the outer stenciled frame in the same stitched die :)

I added half the sentiment with white heat embossing on the front,

and finished up the second half on the inside:

And that's it for us this month!

Be sure to come back next month and see what the theme will be ~
I can't wait to find out when my card kit arrives :)

There are a lot of DDD posts today

and you can find them at Splitcoaststamper:  Dueling Darlings!

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
