Today I have two cards to share, the reason for this being that they will be entered into the new
Twofer Card Challenge,
where you have to use the same product to make cards for two different
occasions. The first challenge is abot feathers. I used an older feather
stap from a Fiskars set.
Card 1 - Thank you
I teamed up the feather with stamps from a, to me, new stamp set from
Lawn Fawn I just couldn't resist. I subtly brushed grey and pink ink to
the ground and added only a tiny bit of color, the red heart on the
envelope and their yellow beeks. I used a black pen to draw the lines to
sort of frame the scene.
This card is also for:
Pile It On - #138 Thank You and or/ Shades of Black & White + Optional Pop of color
Daring Cardmakers - Black, White, Pop
Moving along with the Times - #63 CAS
Sparkles Forum Challenges - #100 Thank You
Card 2 - Best wishes
As per challenge requirement I used the same feather stap, but this time with a "best wishes" sentiment for a birthday card.
I also went with layers and used a DP, but no colors. The frame is staped and I used a gel pen to add some white detailing.
I don't know if you'll agree, but I feel this card is slightly more on the mascline side and I opted for a vintage look.
This card is also for:
The Male Room - #77- Vintage
Crafting with Dragonflies - Anything Goes Cards only
Crafty Catz - #400 Anything Goes option/Males Birthday
The February theme over at Twofer Card Challenge
is hearts. I made one baby card (in the post here) and one for a female that can be used
for Mother's Day or any other occasion. I used
the same Memory Box stitched heart die on both cards.
This card is for Twofer Card Challenge as well as these challenges:
It's my turn to show an "Anything but a card" project over at Catch the Bug.
I've wanted to try and make a bottle tag for a while, and this is my
first attempt of such a project. My starting point and inspiration was
the DP and I chose an image I felt suited the busy pattern. This is a
more fussy and detailed design than most of I've made lately, but I had
lots of fun using left over bits and bobs from my stash, like the bow,
the banner, the little rose and the butterfly.
The colors are subtle also IRL, but even more so in the photo. I sponged and splattered a blue DI and used an orange and grey one and watercolored the image.
I love Jodie's chickie images and here another one called Chickz happy birdday chickie. I colored it with soft colores and fussy cut it. I used a lavender colored paper and DI and stencilled the heart pattern. I sed a black pen to doodle the lines. The sentiment is a combination of two - one from Lawn Fawn (my new element) and a Penny Black one.
For day 1 the theme is "bold and bright birthday wishes".
