Twofer Challenge-Birds
My double look of birds in 2 different ways. The first is obviously for a birthday (my hubby's Aunt) but the second I thought could be used for anything even a sympathy card.

Stamping Sensations-For A Lady
Yellow and pink seem to go well. I coloured the birds in yellow and the flowers in pink using my gamsol colour pencils. I used the cuddlebug for the background paper, added the pink glitter paper plus a nice yellow velvet ribbon I found to create the look. A final touch is the Sentiment that I coloured, with a marker, in pink.
Cute Card Thursday-Anything Goes
I made this for another challenge that has been and gone but that's ok since it is still a nice card to showcase. I used the same bird stamp but left it uncoloured except for the yellow and grey that comes from the background. The background is sprayed with distress stains and I added water to let it drip down. I took the background grey cardstock and placed it through the cuddlebug for the dry embossed look. I layered different coloured cardstock and finally added the birds but tilted because, I am a bit tilted so it works. As a finishing touch, I added the black gems.

CHNC-I did Anything Goes
I had fun creating this mystical card for Christmas. I used a fairy instead of an angel. The background was alcohol pearl inks. I stamped Evergreen and pinecones around in plum. I used my poinsettia diecuts as well as a single snowflake that I cut out twice plus a filigree snowflake design on the bottom left. That one plus the snowflakes I glittered up. I glued everything in place and added stickles on the poinsettia. I glued it onto turquoise cardstock and magenta mirror cardstock. I think I will add a gem for the middle on the poinsettia....I meant to do that.
Pretty snowflakes on your fairy card - love the theme, lol. Very fun colors, too! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like your fairy!
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how the two bird cards look so very different even though they used the same stamp. It just goes to show how important color is.
ReplyDelete3 lovely cards Birgit…your two bird cards just show how different one stamp can look…and your pretty fairy card is just adorable!….take care xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteIMO, these are among the most beautiful cards you have ever created and displayed, dear friend, another being the Shady Dell Graffiti Card you so generously made for me. I have an affinity for birds, and love the striking yellow and pink combo used on the card you intend to give to your hubby's aunt for her birthday.
I also love the plum, turquoise & magenta color scheme used on the Christmas in July - Fairy & Unicorn card. Who needs to see another Yule card with the image of a chubby Santa, Frosty the snowman or trumpeting angels on it, when they could be the lucky recipient of this unique design of yours? At this point, I would normally insert my joke about being the first to wish you a merry Christmas, but it's too late in the year for that to be funny, so happy Valentine's Day! :)
Enjoy your week, dear friend BB. I'll be seeing you Wednesday to play the WSC!
A lovely collection of cards, the Bird ones so different in their finished presentation and the Fairy of course a delight on the Alcohol Ink backdrop.
ReplyDeleteAs always it's lovely to see you at We Love Chocolate Baroque, thank you so much for joining in.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I just saw your message, Birgit. It was waiting to be moderated at TCC and I don't check often after the challenge closes. And I'm sorry that you missed it! Your Twofer bird cards are really terrific and I love the fairy card, too! I LOVE the colors of the background and that sweet poinsettia! Hugs, Darnell
