I remember telling you I had been so craftily busy and I had cards just lined up waiting to be posted for you this week.
I didn't lie. Those cards are still waiting in the wings.
It happens every January. There are SIX family birthdays this month, plus we made an almost 800 mile round trip over a weekend, and....
you get the picture.
But today is special, know why? Because it's my day to play in Darnell's new Twofer Challenge! You can find out all about it on her wonderful blog HERE. Darnell is just the friendliest, funniest and one of the most fabulous stampers out there. I just can't wait to show you the two cards I made for this theme: feathers.
Mine are on birds.
Here is my "twofer" sample photo, using the same images two ways and for two different occasions.
I made the card with the chickadee for my husband's birthday, using watercolors to create a wintry looking background. Pulling out my Tansai Gambi watercolors, I brushed on shades of blues and violet, plus a wee bit of green.
PTI's Winter Woods is the set I used for both cards.The berries from the set were stamped in black as accents, well, just because I needed a triangle for balance.
For the second card, I wanted a springy look and clean bright colors. The chickadee turned into a Baltimore Oriole, or my version of it.
As this post is getting long, I will post the supplies under my signature for you all.
Thanks so much for visiting!
