Trifecta of Summer Dueling Darling Cards!

September 15th and time for another duel with the Dueling Darling Divas and Dazzlers.  This month I'm playing catch up as I did not post my cards for the July and August duel.  My excuse is that I was traveling or about to travel. Oh, well. I hope my team thinks it's better late than never.  And speaking of teams, there are two - team Divas (my team!) and team Dazzlers.   Each month one person from each team pair up and decide on a theme for that month, create a card kit with designer papers, stamped images and multiple embellishments and send it to each member of their team.  On the 15th of the month we display our card creations on either our blogs and/or our gallery at Splitcoaststampers (SCS).  Here are my creations for July, August and September in reverse order:

Suzy (team Diva) and Debby (team Dazzler) chose the theme "Sunflowers" for September.  In my Diva kit Suzy sent this wonderful Stampendous Sunflower Ladybug stamped image!  I colored the image with Copic Markers and cut it out, mounting it on the card front with dimensionals.  I used 3 of the designer papers, the baker's twine, paper buttons embellished with the red brads in the kit.  I mounted this on panel on a turquoise cardstock panel and then on my card base.

Tami (Divas) and Terry L. (Dazzlers) chose the theme "Wine Divas" for the month of August.  In Tami's kit was this darling Art Impressions Wine Divas stamped image and sentiment.  I used the striped DSP form the kit as the background.  I stamped the image with Copic Markers and die cut it and a layering panel with Spellbinder dies; then embellished it with ribbon and pearls from the kit. The sentiment was cut to fit on the chipboard tag from the kit.

July's theme "Honeybees!" was chosen by the Terrys  - Terry S., a Diva and Terry A., a Dazzler.  The kit I received from Terry S. was chock full of great items to create cards reflecting this theme.  I really should have had this card posted in July as it was completed in time for the duel but was distracted by preparations for a month long trip.  I used a lot of the designer paper from the kit inside and out.  I die cut an oval on the front of the card to give a peak at the inside where I mounted the delightful C C Designs Heidi stamped image that I had colored with Copic Markers.  The front was embellished with bee brads, red paper flowers and a little strip of ribbon.

Inside of the card the cute little Heidi had a white paper flower in her hair.  I also use the black rhinestones from the kit and added the sentiment "Happy Bee-Day"

 I gave this card to my niece for her birthday last month.  She love it!
