Hello … bonjour! We have a squeaky clean new challenge for you at Twofer that’s just started … this month we’re asking you to be creative with …
I chose to use a happy, fun, sun image on my cards … one from Simon Says Stamp …
My first card features a central, big bold sentiment where the sun takes the place of the dot above the i … a simple way to say a happy hello. On the birthday card, my design takes up diagonally opposite corners, with the sun shining down onto an oversized corner rainbow. How about a look at each one individually …
I created the shimmery sunshine goodness in the background by ombré sponging Distress Inks directly onto the card base … and spraying it liberally with shimmer spritz. The front white panel was cut with a Winnie & Walter (sadly NLIB) bold sentiment … and I stamped the sun (and his chatty looking face) over the dot on the i. The panel was popped up on craft foam onto the base, the centre of the sun was popped up again over that … and the supplementary sunshine sentiment (from Avery Elle) was slotted snuggly into the word aperture. I finished off with a coat of Glossy Accents on the centre of the sun.
I don’t have a rainbow die, so cut this one using a curved Simon Says Stamp die and lots of coloured card scraps … added them to a breezy embossed background panel (thanks, Judith!) … and adhered the panel flat to the card base. The white embossed sentiment is from MFT. I ombré stamped and trimmed out the sunshine … and popped him up in the swirly sky. He found himself dazzled by all the colours in the rainbow, so needed his shiny (Glossy Accented) shades … they suit don’t they!
How about joining us with a favourite sun/moon image of your own? Just use the same stamps, dies and/or stencils for your two distinctly different designs, for two different occasions … we’d love to see you (and them) in our gallery! Details about how to play, including the rules and FAQs, are over at the Twofer blog … along with heaps of celestial inspiration from the DT! We’re delighted to have two super talented Guest Designers joining us this month … Mac from The Sweetest of Peas … and Linda from Scrappin, Stampin & Singin … welcome ladies! Do go over and have a visit with both these super talented crafters … you’ll be so inspired … and you can always say hello while you’re there!
