Two for One

Tuesday greetings to you all! Another killer day of physical therapy today. My legs are like jelly so I sat down at my desk and knocked out two cards tonight. So here's a quick post before I go do my exercises one more time before bed.

I was intrigued when I saw the challenge at Simply Create Too: no digis or stamped images. So I rifled through my dies to see what I could find. The window is from Poppy Stamps, the bird, birdhouse and fence are from Marianne Designs and the hello is from Simon Says Stamps. The embossing folder is a new one for me. It's a Paper Studio folder I found on clearance called Caning. I kind of thought it gave the appearance of wall paper. A card very much out of my usual but fun to do!
I am entering these challenges:

• Simply Create Too: no stamps or digis
• Penny's Paper Crafty: anything goes (too late for this one!)
• Hiding in my Craft Room: super scrap Saturday; all the die cut pieces were scraps.

And now the two for part. My second card is for the From the Heart i {heart} card sketches with a twist challenge.

I used the sketch and the twist which was to make it quick. I think it took me about 20 minutes to make this one.

The image is from From the Heart Stamps called Flappy Birthday Birdbrain. I just love the Birdbrain images. I inked the background for the sky and the grass. The image is colored with Copics. I used variegated yellow twine. The sentiment is from Hero Arts It's Your Day stamp set heat embossed with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Stain.

I am entering these challenges:

• i {heart} Card Sketches with a Twist: sketch plus quick card
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
• Part Time Tuesdays: anything goes

I am now going to take my tired body upstairs, do a few exercises and drop into bed. LOL! Thanks for stopping by and hop your week is going well!

Hugs,

Donna
