Barb, Kelly and I have a few different challenge/series going on each month. You're probably familiar with at least some of them - Three Musketeers, Ready Set Go!, Stamp What, Hot Mess Success... and on the 22nd of each month, the Double Duty series. This one was Barb's idea - and it is a lot of fun!
Each month we each choose one stamp set from a pre-determined stamp company and make two cards using it. At least one thing has to be seen on both cards (color, embellishment, stamp, etc.). We post on a double-digit day each month, too - the 22nd. Today is the day!
This month's company is Gina K, which is great! I love Gina K stamps and had quite a few sets to choose from in my stash. I ended up using the Peaceful Florals Mini set.
I decided to do something a bit different than I usually do with my Double Duty cards. I used the same overall design for both cards, but changed up the colors and most of the papers for the two. I did keep the small strip of green polka dot paper on both - just because at least one thing needs to be the same on both cards.
