Hip Hip Hooray! 10 Years with the Dueling Darlings!

 It's August 15, 2020, the 10th anniversary of the first duel with the Dueling Darlings! The Dueling Darlings were created by our Awesome, Beautiful, Creative hosts Kelly and Jeanette.  They formed two groups: Kelly's team Divas and Jeanette's team Dazzlers.  Each person is matched up with a person on the opposite team; i.e, Kelly on team Diva is matched or partnered up with Jeanette on team Dazzlers.  Every month one pair of partners consult one another and decide a theme for their month, create a kit of paper, stamped images and embellishment and send to everyone on their team.  Everyone shares their creations on the 15th of the month on their blogs and/or their gallery at Splitcoaststampers.  

Kelly, who literally dreamed up the idea of the Dueling Darlings, today is gifting both Divas and Dazzlers with a card kit, including her dear friend and partner Jeanette. She has chosen the theme:

MIXED UP CAKE PARTY!

I have been honored to be a part of this wonderful group of women as a Diva since the beginning in 2010. But today I am a Dazzler! Yep, it's a mixed up party!!  Thank you, Kelly, for thanking us and providing so much fun along the way!!  I loved all the goodies in my kit so I created two cards. Here they are:



The design of this card is the same layout of my original "Ice Cream" card August 2010.  The edge of the pink panel was punched with the same Martha Stewart punch.  My cute bunny and cake image was colored with Copic Markers. I popped some of the sequins in the kit on the ice cream cones to give them a bit of sparkle!



The design of this card is from this week's sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers,  SC814.  This is the first time I've created a slimline card, although mine isn't very slim!  Kelly's kit had many buttons of multiple colors and since I love rainbow colored themes I strung them together on a piece of the twin that was in the kit.  If you look closely at the left panel with the cakes you can count 10 candles in celebration of our 10th anniversary!

Everything on these cards came for the kit with the exception of the base cardstocks.

It's party time!  Let's celebrate!!!

  2. Wow Judy two cards both different yet so creatively fun. I love both of them. I love that you incorporated 10 candles in the slim line card on the left and I also love the layout and design on the first card. You have hit it right out of the ball park with this kit. Thanks for all the years of dueling....
