It's the third Wednesday of April already which means it's time for the Facebook chapter of the Design D.I.V.A.S. to have our Oldies But Goodies (OBD) Blog Hop. This is when we use neglected and forgotten items from out stashes. The Design D.I.V.A.S. is a private Facebook group which is a branch of the Original Desing D.I.V.A.S. on the Splitcoaststampers website. The acronym for the D.I.V.A.S. is Divine Inspirational Virtous Artistic (or annointed) Sistahs. This is a very talented and supportive group, which I'm blessed to be a part of. Thank you for stopping by and we hope you enjoy the hop!
If you came here from our lovely and awesome Sue's blog you are on the right track. To start at the beginning hop on back to see the clever creativity of Vicki.
For my project I used a couple of neglected items. First, the ladder was made with the smallest rectangle Nestibility. I don't think I have ever used the smaller dies, but repeatedly running it through the Cuttlebug on Kraft paper worked really well for this little ladder.
This image is Mo Manning's "Playing Firefighter". He is really intent on getting the fire out in his little high-rise made of blocks. The neglected item here is the Inksentials Glossy Accent on his hat and coat. It gave it that nice shiny/wet look.
As hard as it is for me to keep the cards simple (for me white space just begs for filler) this was really an easy peasy card. Black background topped with bands of the primary colors and a black rhinestone swirl to look like smoke make for a fun background to the colored image. Afterall, it is the image that I want to showcase.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have been enjoying the Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop and there is more! Your next stop is at our uber-talented Heather's.
