This week at Dynamic Duos the colours are Soft Blue and Deep Orange. At first you might think they would clash but they actually are quite sweet together.
I created a shaped card this week, partly because I was going to use a tiny image and sentiment and I wanted to shrink the white space down a bit and party because they are so cute.
I die cut two large scallops in blue and the same size circle in white. I stamped the scene first then I embossing using the Swiss Dots embossing folder to mimick the rain. Not sure if I like that or not. I would love to know what you think?
To hinge the card I used a trick I learned in Clean & Simple Card Making 2, to score a 1/2" of the scallop that will be the back and glue it to the front. I also cut a bit off the bottom of the back so that the card would stand without rocking over.
All supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.
Cardstock: White, Spring Rain
Stamps: Pretty Ptches Umbrella (WPlus9), Love Lives Here (PTI)
Ink: Smokey Shadow, Orange Zest, Spring Rain
Dies: Scalloped Circles and Circles (Spellbinders)

Gorgeous, sweet card and it look great as it is. Not too sure how you put this together with the scored part, if you get a minute can you email me x
I love the shaped card. I forget about doing this. The swiss dots are great! I might have paperpieced the umbrella onto the dots after? Adorable!
This is gorgeous Tracey - I love that cute umberella. And thank you for reminding me about this technique from the class!
darling shaped card...I love that color combo!
love the shaped card!
Tracey this is as sweet as can be, love the sweet umbrella!
This is so darling. Love that you made it a circle card.
Very cute card Tracy and I love your use of that sweet umbrella! Good idea to use a shaped card to shrink the white space, I know exactly what you mean and love that tip!
Sweet card! Great job with the colors!
I really love the swiss dots on your card...so cute!
I just used this same set yesterday! I love it! The scalloped card is so pretty, Tracey!
Really great card design, Tracey - the shape is so perfect for that image, and just the right size. Glad you could join us at Dynamic Duos this week :o)
Very nice, Tracey. ;-) I love that adorable umbrella and the sweet sentiment - the swiss dots make great 'raindrops' too! Thank you so much for joining our Dynamic Duos challenge again. ;-)
This is adorable!!! LOVE your card - so perfect with the polkadot embossing! Have a great week-end, hugs, Karin
how cute.. i love how you embossed it.. looks fabulous
gorgeous card Tracey!! ♥
The circular shape is perfect for that sweet little umbrella! Love the little heart next to the sentiment too. :)
This is such an adorable card, and so apt for today, since we have gotten buckets and buckets of the wet stuff. Love the great color combo, and how great it looks on your circle card. Fabulous job!
Sweet card. Love the shape. x
Totally adorable Tracey!! That little stitched umbrella is so cute! Love the roundness too! I've never done a round card before. You have me intrigued to try now!
Fantastic circle card - love the paper pieced umbrella
This is adorable, love that umbrella!! Thanks so much for joining us this week on the Dynamic Duos challenge.
sweet!
Eeek! LOVE that you're using your new goodies, my dear! And the shape of this cutie is perfect!
This is so cute. And, I had forgotten about that tip for circle cards. I do like the embossed dots for rain, and a circle card is so fun, as you say--perfect for a small focal point.
Tracey, this is just too cute and I love the dots to mimic the rain, so sweet and thanks for the lesson too.
I love that you embossed the white card front, what an extra fun touch!
That was such a great tip from the class (the scoring and the flat edge on the bottom). Love how your embossing folder dots look like rain! Fun card!
I'm so delighted that your super cute and well done card won a Dynamic Darling shoutout, Tracey!!
Adorable - who doesn't love a shaped card? And the embossing is just like raindrops!
