It's the First Twofer Challenge!

Hi there! So glad you dropped in
'cause I am delighted to see the
Fabulous Twofer Card Challenge #1 is Live!
We all (or should) know the Delightful Darnell
who is challenging us to make 2 different cards 
with the same stamp/die but for 2 different occasions.
I know there are going to be gazillions
of crafters out there to encourage
Darnell and her Fabulously Talented Team
on there New Journey
SO...... let the fun begin.
I was sooooooooooooooo excited
when I saw what the prompt was FEATHERS!
and I had only recently got out my favourite
SU Four Feathers Set for another card.
***
On to Card 1
The current and addictive challenge over at
CAS Mix Up is to use cling wrap
and what better way to show off my feathers!
I used Brusho's on glossy photo paper
popped onto stitched die cut card stock.
Sentiment is from Paper Smooches.
Added a few gems and attached cotton
to the feathers.

Card 2
I made as a male card.
The background woodgrain is from
Dark Room Door and stamped with
Tim's Frayed Burlap as is the
front feather. The other two are
in Gathered Twigs.
These were popped in front of
some wrapping paper from some
sweets my sister received from
an overseas friend and is very brittle.
Just knew it would come in handy one day!
Sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping.
Finished with some jute on the feathers.
***
So of course these cards are going over to
The Twofer Challenge over Here
Please go over and check out what
the Darnelle Designers have created
and Card 1 for their
CAS Mix Up January Challenge

My Mix is Cling Wrap, Die cutting and Stamping.

Thanks so much for coming by today

It's CUTplorations January Challenge


A Guid New Year tae ane an awe
And mony may we see!
( A wee bit of Scotland coming out here)

We are off and running over at STAMPlorations
for our CUTplorations Inspiration Photo Challenge.

What did you pick up on when you looked at this
really Beautiful Scene?

I will admit I had a meltdown knowing I didn't
have a STAMPloration tree as that is what I
wanted as my focal image so improvised
by cutting one - but before that
I wanted to try and match the beautiful sky background
using Oxide Inks, Inka Gold and a White Gel Pen.
Turned out nicely then added some 'trees'
which really are leaves from
STAMPlorations Trendy Spring Blooms
for the background then my cut tree
I used as a stencil and inked.
Adhered this to
CUTplorations Crazy-Double-Running-Stitch-Rectangle-Nesting-Dies
Sentiment is CUTplorations Enchanting Word Die
