There's always two sides to every story (actually, there are 3 - yours, mine and the truth - so they say)! Stamps can be like that as well. And that's the premise for Darnell's new Twofer challenge! Given a theme, we're challenged to create two different occasion cards using the same stamp. Such a great idea to stretch not only your imagination, but to stretch the uses for stamps! For my cards, I used Reverse Confetti Boho Vibes (feathers).
For my first card, I created a watercolor triangle and splattered the white side. The group of Boho Vibes feathers are stamped in Wisteria, Dark Roast and Flamingo. The other feather is silver heat embossed. For the 'thank you' sentiment, I used the new Kindness Cards stamps/dies.
I'm excited to share my card in these additional challenges:
(new stamps/dies; new type of challenge)
Valentine's Day is a month away and I'm already behind! Not that I send a ton of V-day cards, but I do have a few plus little 'gifts' for co-workers. This card was super easy to create!
I started with Reverse Confetti Topped Off Tag die using the Heart Tag Topper die. The feathers and arrow from the Boho Vines set are grouped together with Cappuccino twine. Both the heart tag topper and row of hearts are cut from Piggy Bank and Salsa cardstock. The hearts border die is from the XOXO dies collection and sentiment from the new Heart Filled Sentiments set.
Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:
Two beautiful feather cards Kathy! Love the pretty watercoloured triangle over top of the splattered background. Sweet grouping of feathers. Love the addition of the blue feather and die-cut thank you.

ReplyDeleteI love these two wonderfully feathery cards, Kathy! Your first one, with its watercolored triangle is fabulous!! Those colors are amazing and the feathers work perfectly against your backgrounds. That sentiment's font is awesome, too! And the Valentine card...precious!! Love that arrow, and those feathers in neutral colors against all that pink, white and red. Such a fun Valentine! Thanks for joining us at the Twofer Challenge! Bev

ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards! Love that Twofer challenge idea. focusing on the thank you card, I love the colors you used, and the placement of the watercolored triangle on the spattered base.

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so beautiful. Love the inking. We are grateful that you joined our Challenge here at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with the inspiration that comes from God's Word in Romans 1:17 which says, "For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Have a blessed week.
