Birds...Twofer!

Hi everyone, I've been playing with some new to me stamps.

Aren't these ducks sweet!

I thought they'd be perfect for Darnell's Twofer Card Challenge where it's a bird theme.

Use the same stamps or dies and make 2 different cards for different occasions.

My themes are friendship and love.

For the smile card, I stamped the ducks in versafine, clear embossed and fussy cut them.
The bodies are coloured with white pencil, not sure that I needed to, although it gives it a different white look I suppose. They are popped up on foam dots for dimension.

I used my misti to stamp the sentiment as I didn't want to cut it into two!

I've layered the smile diecut for dimension, from scraps of purple and white card.
Using snippets means I can visit the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop, been a while since I've caught up with Di and the playmates, and the adorable pup Dudley!




The theme at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday is clean and simple.



Cuttlebug Mania has a new theme, perfect for my new stamps.



At Addicted to CAS, the theme is friends.

For this card I diecut some tags and smooshed the white one in some gelatos spritzed with water.

I stamped the ducks and then stamped them again and fussy cut them to paper piece over the top. This gave a little bit of dimension.

I cut up the sentiment that came with the ducks and layered each piece onto scraps of black card.

I'm linking this one to theses challenges:

Uniko where I'm playing along with the optional love twist.

Mix it Up Challenge where it's anything goes with the option of a sentiment as the focus.

Supplies:

By your side Card : Crafty Individuals Favourite Ducks stamp; gelatos; versafine ink & clear ep; white and grey  Prismacolour pencils and orange Neocolor II crayon; MFT pierced and stax tag dies.
