It's October 15... do you know what that means?
It means it's time for the Dueling Darlings to post this month's creations!
For those of you who may not know who/what Dueling Darlings are... we are 14 online friends who challenge each other's creativeness. Each month - on the 15th - the Dueling Darling Divas and the Dueling Darling Dazzlers create cards using identical products sent to them by the hostesses. While both hostesses have the same theme, the products are a suprise. For me personally, one of the most exciting aspects of the duel is seeing what images/etc the other team is using.
This month's duel is hosted by Debbie and Carol
Theme: Treasured Friend
Debbie sent all of the Dazzlers (of which I am one) the most incredible kit. I immediately fell in love with the image - an adorable nesting doll set from Stampin' UP! called My Matryoshka. Having traveled to the country of Kazakhstan twice, I actually have several Matryoska dolls in my home. They hold a special place in my heart.
The designer paper Debbie included - Kaiser Craft Mumma Bushka, Misha and Mumma Bushka, and Inka continue the delightful theme of Debbie's kit.
Here is my creation:
Debbie sent the Dazzlers everything you see on my card except the cardstock and one special item.
Each Dueling Darling was asked to include a "treasure" f some sort on her card. The "treasure" stipulation was that it could not be brand new. It had to be some type of recylced item.
My treasure is an oversized blue poptop tab
Here's a closeup of the image so you can see how adorable it really is:
