Twofer cards 'Feathers'

Hi there, just stopping by to show you a couple of cards I made for Darnell's new Twofer Challenge.

I wish Dee lots of luck with her new challenge, although with her amazing DT I am sure it will be a big success ;) The idea is to use the same stamp /die on two different type of cards, how clever is that! I went with a die cut feather and made a Sympathy card and also a Birthday card.

I tend not to use black or grey on my Sympathy cards as I think they are just too depressing for the recipient. I may be wrong but that's my take on it! So I used blue and silver on mine, still keeping it very simple. I was tempted to use a white feather but in the end went for silver. It's all about celebrating a life I think.....well I like to think it is.

For my second card I made a  Birthday card. I used lots of colour and a touch of sparkle above the sentiment and also a few sequins too. Come and have a closer look and see what you think.......

Ok so now to my very exciting news!!! I have been asked by the lovely Aileen to join her Design team. She is starting a brand new challenge blog all about using Flowers.

I started off just helping her with a new header for it etc. Then I got more and more involved and when she asked me to join her team I just couldn't say no!

I adore using flowers and I am sure the  challenge  blog will be a big hit. I have been asked to join a few challenges but always turned them down until now. I have a feeling this one will be special ;)  
It starts on the 4th October, so go check it out to see what it's all about. (Link Below) I do hope you will all join in and I think you will be blown away by the cards the DT have made when you see  them all ;)     'The Flower Challenge'

Feather card

Good morning friends/bloggers, I hope you are all keeping well. Another Saturday again, the time certainly  flies.    I hope everyone is battening down the hatches for the very stormy weather we are expecting on Monday  here in the UK.     This week over at  'Less is More' the recipe is.....       String or Twine     I decided to use some of my Kraft card I have had for a  while but still not used !      Memory Box feather and some TH white twine.  Hobby Arts sentiment.      I had to risk stamping it twice as it didn't work too  well first time. Luckily I got away with it lol. Have a lovely weekend whatever you have planned :)   ps.Update... Sorry the feather die is a Poppy Stamps one !
