Dynamic Duos #52 - Our One Year Anniversary Celebration!

Hello stamping friends! Hope you are having a wonderful day so far. I am very excited today to share that Dynamic Duos is having a big celebration this week: Our One Year Anniversary! How awesome is that?! 

I remember when my dear friend Lesley Croghan and I originally talked about this two color challenge. It hardly seems as though a year has gone by. I have been really honored to be a part of Dynamic Duos since the beginning and to work in my role as the Challenge Manager. You can select ANY one of our past color combos for your project, so there are lots of choices for inspiration this week. 

There are so many color combos that I have loved over the past year, but in looking through the past year of challenges, the combo that still grabbed my attention as soon as I saw it is the "Bold and Sassy" combo of Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. We used these colors together in week #10 of the challenge and I am celebrating our anniversary by pairing them together, yet again.

I reached for a set I seem to rarely use: Betsy's Blossoms. That little bird is super cute! I also wanted to make a card with a lot of layers...I know that is very shocking to anyone who visits my blog regularly. Haha! I stamped the bird twice in Rich Razzleberry ink. Once on Whisper White card stock and once on Old Olive card stock. Then I cut out the "wings" in Old Olive card stock and paper pieced them to create a little more dimension. I wanted the frame to pop a bit more so I added some Iridescent Ice embossing powder to the scalloped edges to give them some sparkle and shine. All of the rest of the products I used are listed at the end of this post. 

Here is the photo of my original card for Week #10 of the challenge.
