Double D challenges - dots and stripes

I am busy making cards for a card set for  a friend, and I am trying to use challenges to help motivate my mojo. I found this dots and stripes challenge over on the Double D challenge blog. You can find it at this site http://daranddiane.blogspot.com// . I have been sorting through my scrap piles and I found all of these that coordiated so well together. I used these Unity stamps and I paper pieced this Angie girl's sweater with this pretty gold dotted paper. Unity Girls are so fun to paper piece.

CCEE1834 Riding the Wind

Hi Crafty Friends

It's Frances here again with another fun challenge for you all.

Today (23rd August) is Ride the Wind Day, this day was created to celebrate the anniversary of the first man powered flight. There are so many things that rely on wind for them to work, so let's include something that needs wind on our cards today. Some examples include kite flying, windsurfing, Hang Gliding; Sailing Boats, Birds Flying, Hot Air Balloons, Balloons, Paper Planes etc.

Want to play along with us this week, don't forget to drop back here to enter the link to your card to Mr Linky at the bottom at the CCEEStampers blogsite www.cceestampers.blogspot.com 

While  you are there look to see what our Design Team created this week for the challenge.....

Here's my card and I kind of took a different angle on ridiing the wind. I thought of how a loose feather floats through the air and how it moves as the wind catches it. 

I used distress oxide inks for my background. Stamps I used were from Stampabilities and Unity. 
I added a few sequins as some of the pieces scattered. 

Unity CAS challenge

This is my card for a challenge going on over at Unity. I love their wonderful red rubber stamps. I used my oxide distress inks to make my background.
