Birds of a Feather Flock Together

It's time for a DUEL! Dueling Darling style.

This month Kelly and I are the hostesses, which means we got to choose the theme... and then we both put together kits for our respective groups - Kelly for the Divas and me for the Dazzlers.

Since we're approaching our 4 year anniversary of Dueling Darlings, we wanted to do something that focused on the friendships we've made/developed in this group. So, our theme is.....

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Through the years, through thick and thin, we've blessed each other in many ways and all these years later, we're still together – like a flock!

And here’s the challenge – Since we are celebrating 4 years together, you must have 4 of SOMETHING on your card - 4 flowers, 4 brads, 4 gems, 4 different designer papers, etc! Those 4 things must be the same ELEMENT (in other words, 4 different gems are okay but not 1 paper, 1 ribbon, 1 brad, 1 button = 4).

Here’s the kit I put together for the Dazzlers:

Image – Penny Black Chicky Work Out stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black (notice there are 4 chicks in the image.)

Sentiment – Great Impressions stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black

Designer Papers (4 of them) – from Paper Studio

• Happy All Over – Floral
• Poteeka Stripe
• Small Polka Dot – Pink/Cream
• Texture Yellow

Embellishments –

• Paper Studio – Gemstones (there are 4 of these)
• Ribbon Boutique – Ruffled Ribbon
• Sew-Ology – a piece of an actual tape measure
• Spare Parts - Brads
• Spare Parts – Clear Starburst Brad
• Spare Parts – Flowers (two kinds; 4+ of these)

Here's the card I made:

As soon as I saw this stamp in my Cubbyhole (my craft room), I knew it was the one I wanted to use. It reflects a group of chicks - 4 which is our special number this round - and they are sticking together through thick and thin. Seemed to work for me. I hope the other Dazzlers thought it was okay, since it IS a bit a crazy image.

And of course, I had to use this quote (from the Beatles) inside my card:

I am so blessed to have the Dueling Darlings as friends - both the Divas and the Dazzlers!

Now, in case you can't find my "4" items on my card (not counting the chicks, of course), there are 4  little sunburst gemstones on the card - 3 on the front and 1 inside. See, I can count to 4. ;)

Let's head to the other Dueling Darling blogs to see what they made...

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

The only thing I used to make my card that wasn't included in my kit was the card base - Stampin' UP! Soft Sky Cardstock.
