More Feathers



Welcome!  I have another entry for Darnell's new Twofer Card Challenge -  make two different card designs for two different occasions using the same stamps and/or dies. Challenge #1 is Feathers.  I again am using a new stamp set Wise Owl by Jane's Doodles but using another one of the great feather stamps.

For my first design, I stamped the feather 3 times with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copics and added a sentiment from Gina K. Kept it CAS with a Orange card base. 

For the second card, I stamped the same feather stamp 8 times with the black ink on a Green Paper from Graphic 45 Secret Garden pad and fussy cut all eight.  I sponged them with a bit of Distress Oxide ink.  I then arranged the feathers in a "wreath" or "flower" on a background of green paper that was embossed with CB Wicker Weave EF-has a distressed look with the white showing through. Added some circle die cuts of yellow and white stamped with sentiments from the Jane's Doodle set with DO Fossilized Amber ink.

Twofer Challenge

 Welcome!  There is an exciting new card challenge in Blogland!
Darnell has created a new Twofer Card Challenge - we are to make two different card designs for two different occasions using the same stamps and/or dies.  This looks to be a fun challenge. 

I have been anticipating the first challenge and Challenge #1 is Feathers.  I was excited by this theme since I have a new stamp set Wise Owl by Jane's Doodles which has some great Feather stamps which I was anxious to use.  My first card was a CAS design featuring a feather used as a quill to write the words Happy Birthday (Gina K stamp).  I used Memento Tuxedo Black, London Fog, Desert Sand and Love Letter inks for stamping and heat embossed with Clear EP.  Finished with Black card base.

For the next card, I stamped feathers with Versamark ink and heat embossed with White EP on White CS.  I sponged this with Fired Brick Distress Oxide ink and cut with an Oval die and placed on a Scalloped Oval of White CS. I attached to a panel of MME pattern paper from Chalk Studio pad and to a white card base.  Finished with Gina K sentiment heat embossed with White EP and some enamel dots.
Note: I received the Wise Owl set as part of a prize that I won from Jane's Doodles for the Caring Hearts Card Drive.
