Dynamic Duos #66 and Seize the Birthday Anything Goes

Happy Saturday friends and it is time for this week's new colour duo at Dynamic Duos!

This week is a Black Tie week and I have to say that these colours are lovely together:

For my card I used the Hero Arts Leafy Vines cling stamp for my background. and embossed the Pretty Peonies butterfly with clear embossing powder.  

I love to emboss with clear embossing powder, it is definitely more forgiving than a colour.

I am also entering this into the current Seize the Birthday challenge.

Do you like embossing more using clear or coloured powder?

Stamps: Leafy Vines (Hero Arts) Pretty Peonies (Papertrey Ink)

This week is a Black Tie week and the colours are Pear Pizzaz & Basic Black with a Dessert Option of a Plant Theme. A quick search for green Camellia's on the Internet found this picture so the green Camellia's on my card were born. We hope that you will come and play with us this week.

Dynamic Duos #51

Yay it is Saturday and from the sound of it it is finally warming up everywhere.
As my Canadian friends will all be familiar with the first treat of the season:

So excited to share my first post for the Dynamic Duos Design Team!

The week is Bold & Sassy week at Dynamic Duos.  Super excited to be posting this week as a Design Team Dynamo.  This week we are pairing up Daffodil Delight with Baja Breeze.

This is my card:

The white panel was embossed and then cut with the Lil' Inkers Stitched Mat. The tag and butterfly are popped up with foam tape.

We hope that you come and play along with us this week at Dynamic Duos.
