DD/DDA January Challenge and Mojo Monday Card

Happy Tuesday!
I'm so excited to be playing along in my first DD/DDA Challenge!
Jodi is our hostess this month and these were the rules she set:
Challenge Focus: A Valentine's Day/Love-y Dove-y card!!
Required Element: Texture!! Anything you can *feel* (ie: Fun Flock, Crystal Effects, Embossing/Debossing, velvet ribbon...and I am sure there are a million more things that I cannot think about!!)
Restricted Element: No RED!! Pink is ok...but no red...let's see what other colors we can use for Valentine's Day!
I think I followed the rules...you all know I am not a rule breaker :)
For my texture I have Glossy Accents, Fun Flock and Glitter.
Stop by the gallery at SCS with these keywords DCFTL0109 to see what the other girls have created!
Stamps: Love is Sweet; Cardstock: White, Regal Rose, So Saffron and Georgia Peach dp; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Silver Brads, Circle Punch, Heart Trio Punch, Word Window Punch, Sizzix Heart Dies, Acetate, Xyron Machine, Glitter, Pink Fun Flock, Glossy Accents, Dimensionals
After working on my DD/DDA January Challenge card I moved on to Julee's Mojo70 sketch. I'm so sad that Season of Friendship did not make it into the new catty :(
Well that isn't going to stop me from using it! I used the new set called A Little Somethin' Somethin' too.
This is a SU! only card.
Stamps: Season of Friendship, A Little Somethin' Somethin'; Cardstock: White, So Saffron, Regal Rose, Old Olive and Georgia Peach DP; Inks: Olive, Saffron, Regal Rose; Accessories: Silver Brads, Coluzzle, Paper snips, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!
ETA: My SECOND card is the SU!....I started my post before loading the cards...sorry!

Love both cards, especially the second one. I have this set and have only used it once...don't know why, because I love it! Let's hold out hope that it makes the Fall/Winter catty!

Well...you know I LOVE your Dirty challenge card, and your tree is also very pretty!! I love the colors/papers, and layouts on both of these fabulous cards, Dawn!!

Beth Norman-Roberts said...

Love your cards. The bottom one really speaks to me in particular.

Rebecca Ednie said...

Are you sure your first card is SU! only? I didn't know they made that die cut shape, stamp set, memento ink or fun flock. I am going to have to look through the new catty again! Oh, and the clear heart, how did you do that?

Rebecca Ednie said...

Btw, I love the card! Forgot to add that at the end of my questions!
