Congrats Darnell on your new challenge. I was prepared to use all my NBUS and then you switch gears. As I mentioned to you I am cutting back on card challenges and maintaining my blog BUT I would not pass up the chance to be challenged by you and your creative thinking.
The stamp I selected is Trio of Beauty by Unity Stamp Co. The card on the left was stamped, colored with copics, die cut and mounted onto black craft foam. The piece of SU soft suede was die cut with MFT wonky rectangle. I googled "feathers" and chose the feather colors of a red-tailed hawk. The base card is SU crumb cake. Sentiment I don't know.
The second card was stamped and heat embossed onto 90# wc paper and colored with Zig. This piece was die cut with a circle die and then SU tempting turquoise was cut with MFT cross stitch circle die. With mounting tape I attached the focus piece onto SU pumpkin pie and a snippet of dsp. The sentiment, part of the stamp set, was stamped and die cut.
Prayers to all those in the Santa Barbara area. Six months ago my husband I took our entire family to SB to celebrate our 50th anniversary at a lovely beach resort. One of the highlights of our trip was our sons surprising us by renting a limo/van. The driver drove us throughout SB, including Montecito and the charming community. Wonderful memories for our family but sadness for the residents.
Two gorgeous feathery cards, Barb! The red hawk colours you chose for the first are deliciously neutral and organic ... it has a wonderful masculine feel about it! The bold brights on your second really pop against the white ... and the vibrant frame has the blues positively glowing! Thanks so much for your lovely comment ... and for playing along with us at our inaugural Twofer Card Challenge! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty feather cards Babs!! Love the gorgeous colours of your first card. The neutral tones and frame of black really lends itself to a masculine birthday card. Your second card is fun and bright. LOVE the combination of turquoise and orange --- one of my favourite complementary colour combos! Great framing and love the patterned paper in the background. Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed by your hawk feathers and those wonderfully warm brown tones! Your orange and turquoise feathers are brilliant and perfect with your pps. Thanks so much for joining in on the fun over at Twofer Card Challenge! I'm praying along side of you for those in Santa Barbara.
ReplyDeleteYou're the best, Barb! I so appreciate your support, both of my NBUS and now of Twofer! Of course, you can always use NBUS when you can, so I'm hoping folks will keep that alive. I certainly plan to keep using it for myself, lol!
ReplyDeleteYour feather designs are wonderful! We have red-tailed and Cooper hawks in our trees, so I especially love that you Googled and used those colors on your manly birthday design! And your second feather design is so pretty; those colors look gorgeous together! Thank you again for playing with us at Twofer! I look forward to seeing you in the gallery again next month!! Hugs, Darnell
p.s. I remember how special your family anniversary trip was to Santa Barbara and I'm so saddened by the horrible damage and death there. I'm keeping the residents in my prayers and hoping there won't be any additional flooding where the fires were once we start getting rain again. xxoo
Oooh! so glad you joined the challenge Barb because your cards are awesome!! I love the way you made the same image look so different : ) Perfect!

Two very different ways to use these feathers, Barb! I love both ways!
ReplyDeleteHow different the same feathers look when they are colored in different shades! Love the one in neutral colors and how you colored the feathers after a real bird! But I also adore the colorful version with the pretty DP!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining us at the very first Twofer Card Challenge!
