Twofer #19 - Nautical

Hi Everyone,

the new Twofer challenge is out and instead of procrastinating I just went up to my  craft room and made two cards!


The theme is Nautical!


How cool! The only problem was, that I have way too many supplies I could possibly use. I settled on the big crab that I imported a while ago from Germany from the online shop Steckenpferdchen. They have some cool stuff in that store and clearly, I couldn't leave the crab there....



For this card I stamped the crab onto photo paper and added some splatters and smooshed a bit. Added the fish die cuts. The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. I couldn't resist adding some googly eyes....


For my second card I stamped the crab in red tones, using and ombre ink pad from Michaels.


The thin frames are also from Steckenpferdchen. Tied a die cut fish to it and stamped the sentiment (Katzelkraft). Small googly eyes for this one.


Loving my Twofer cards!

What a fun idea to use the large crab Cornelia. Both cards are fabulous and striking. Great designs and loving the addition of the thin frames and die cut fish on the second one especially x.

Oh that crab or should I say, CRAB! He is FABULOUS and I love that you used one color of him on each card. Amazing! I certainly can see why it had to come home with you. Spectacular color and design on both cards. I smell a winner.

I've never seen crabs looking so bright and happy, Cornelia! Whether dressed in vibrant blue or ombre pink and sporting googly eyes, they look amazing! Love the smooched ocean background and fishes on your first card and the whimsical tied frames and fish on your second card! Thank you so much for being Johnny-on-the-spot in Twofer Card Challenge #19! Hugs, Darnell

I love the "sorry" sentiment with that bright blue crab and the eyes on both cards bring the crabs to life.

Brilliant, Cornelia ... what a fantastic crab ... you showcased him beautifully on both cards ... no wonder he had to come home with you! On that first card, the ocean really does look as though it's washing over him ... and those googly eyes couldn't be more perfect! Love the crisp pink-ness of that second one with the more delicate, tiny eyes ... the collage look of the single fish and double frame over him is just delicious! So pleased you rushed up to your craft space to make these fabulous cards and play along with us at Twofer ... thank you! Hugs, Anita :)

I'm so glad you didn't leave that sweet crab stamp in the store, Cornelia! Love the size of him, and you've used him wonderfully on both cards. Great idea to use photo paper; it gives your card such a fun, different look. Love all the little fish you've added, too. And those eyes! Crabs do have funky eyes, and the googlies work perfectly. Your red crab with those frames and that fish really create a different look. Love that ombre ink as well. Thank you so much for joining us at the Twofer Challenge! Bev

Your crab is wonderful as a blue crab and a red one! I love your watery looking background and the clean look of the white die cuts on your first card. That fish tied to the frames in red thread is so artistic! Of course, I can never resist googly eyes! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
