Watercolor Stamping with Twofers

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to play with my Local King Rubber Stamps and needed a challenge to spark my imagination....
Twofers came to the rescue - the theme is watercolor stamping.


I used watercolor markers and colored my stamp, stamped it onto glossy card stock and then die cut it. One ostrich was not enough, so I stamped him some grey companions. Added splatters just for fun and some Washi tape. The sentiment also comes with the stamp set.


Here you see better that the die cut ostrich is mounted with foam tape. I am thinking birthday card for an Australian here - I think it works even without a specific birthday sentiment, or?

Happy Stamping!

Your ostriches card makes me smile...reminds me of Sesame Street's "One of these things is not like the other' song! Such fun! Sentiment? Totally fine without!

Wonderful card Cornelia, you are just so clever. You have a way of always making me pause and smile, love the bird in colour then grey behind, works perfectly.

That ostrich is not only colored beautifully, he makes me laugh because of the nutty expression. Of course, it will work for any birthday, no matter the nationality.

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
