Happy Twofer Day! It's the 10th of the month and time for another
Twofer Card Challenge. This month our focus is flowers, so using a flower stamp, die, or stencil on two cards, for two different occasions, and two totally different designs. My flower of choice are actually the second layer of three flowers from
Altenew's Stunning Cosmos:
On a piece of shimmer pink cardstock, I heat embossed the second layer of the Cosmos flowers and their stems with silver embossing powder and fussy cut them out. I added a gem to the two with centers and arranged the flowers vertically with the stems coming from the left side of the card. The sentiment, from the same stamp set, was also heat embossed on a strip of the shimmer pink cs, and layered with two silver on silver papers from my scraps.
I used all the layers of the flowers and stems on this friendship/thank you card. I stamped the layers with Catherine Pooler ink and arranged them in the middle of the card, over an ink blended center.
I hope you will join us this month over at the

Cindy Beach, and from the team.

ReplyDeleteI must have overlooked this Altenew set, Kara. I love how it looks all fancied up with silver embossing but it's also lovely in a more natural state. Happy Mother's Day!

ReplyDeleteAltenew sure does know how to do flowers, and you have made them even prettier on both cards Kara! I'm absolutely loving the elegance in your pink and silver Mother's Day card and awesome job on the fussy cutting of those blooms too! And your bold 2nd card using all the stamp layers is just as beautiful my friend and I really, really like the bold pop of yellow behind the red! Lovely, lovely cards my friend, and hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day today!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteGosh, that first card is just so elegant, Kara ... the soft silver and pink blooms are so delicate and gorgeous against the tone on tone pp background! The blended glow behind your vibrant red flowers is like bright sunshine ... even though these flowers are cosmos, they still put me in mind of poppy filled fields here ... gorgeous! Miss you, my lovely friend ... big hugs and bisous, Anita :)
