I'm joining in with Darnell's Twofer Challenge today, but to help me make two cards using the same stamps but with different designs I turned to several other challenges as you will see linked at the bottom of my post!
So here are my twofer's - both using retired stamp set Honey Bee from PTI.
For the first card I made an encouragement or Birthday card depending on what I end up stamping inside! I used the sketch from the Fusion Challenge, the colors from The Color Throwdown Challenge, I popped up the bee on a folded strip of card for the Cupcake Inspiration - Add a Pop Up Element and The Country View Challenge is Bugs!
I used just the sketch
My flowers are hot pink and orange, the honeycomb stamp is yellow and the stem is green.
Add a Pop Up Element
It's a Bugs Life
For my 2nd card I made a baby card using the CAS Colours and Sketches Sketch

Two fabulous cards, Julia! Just love the sweet bee image you used and it looks amazing as a flower and on the baby bee card!!
ReplyDeleteThat honey colored paper around your first card is just right! What a darling bee among those pretty flowers, too! Love how you've framed that center panel and popped up that bee. Your baby bee card is adorable! that bit of patterned paper is perfection. Great idea to have a lacy edge to this card, as well. Love it! Thanks for joining us at the Twofer Challenge this month! Darling cards! Bev

ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs! Love the crisp white frame around your floral image. Thanks for joining us for this week's Color Throwdown!
ReplyDeleteWay to rock an array of challenges, sister! This is so often the way I create, drawing on inspiration from many great challenges. You've designed two darling cards for the bee challenge! I love your framed garden drawing the eye to focus on the popped up beautiful bee! Your second design welcoming a new baby is so pretty and I love the color! Thank you for highlighting Twofer and playing in Challenge #17! Hugs, Darnell
