Twofer Card Challenge #35 - Balloons

Welcome to the February Twofer Card Challenge. As you may know, we want to see two different designs for two different occasions using the same stamps, stencils and/or dies.


  This month's prompt is Balloons.

 

To inspire you I have made a birthday card and Easter card. 

All craft supplies needed for to create both cards are from Najlepši par, so I'm entering them to:

- Najlepši par: galerija februar 2021 (okrašeni pravokotniki, (ne)strašne pošasti, dve mali pentlji, za rojstni dan, pravokotniki s šivi, valoviti pravokotniki, pomladni dan, voščilo z zastavico, plastična šablona akvarelne črte)

BIRTHDAY CARD

 


For this card I took a piece of watercolor paper and shaded it with different blue distress inks. Then I  took a brush and smashed all the colors with a lot of water. After drying I put some water drops on the paper and let it dry again. Balloons are cut out of white paper and shaded with distress inks in rainbow colors. I tied them with the red bow. The sentiment is heat embossed in white.

EASTER CARD


I like to create these cute scenes. :-) I like it to be colorful and cute. I'm still learning how to color the motives. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes not. :-) But I never give up. :-) For this card I took a piece of watercolor paper and cut it with the scalloped die. For the background I took a stencil and made lines with the distress inks. Green for the grass and blue for the sky. I have stamped the bunnies on the watercolor paper, colored them with distress inks and cut them out with the die. Balloons are turned to  Easter eggs and shaded with distress inks. Banner with the sentiment is mounted with 3D tape so the bottom of the balloons is hidden. At the end I added bunnies and mounted the spring scene on the red paper.

Vau, mojstrsko kot vedno, super ideja, da je balon lahko tudi velikonočno jajce.

Helena pravi ...

Kako domiselno, da si za pirhe uporabila kar balončke. Obe sta krasni.

Metuljčica pravi ...

Bravo Sonja, res dobra ideja s pirhi, ki so lahko tudi balončki. Obe voščilnici sta čudoviti.

Sonja, I love the background you've created for your birthday balloon bouquet. It really highlights all those fun balloons! The little bow and heart you've used to "tie" them together was a great idea, too! But that sweet Easter card is amazing! You've done a great job of coloring, the bunnies and the "eggs," too. Love that red paper for your base - it makes your darling scene just pop. Awesome, awesome Twofer!! Love them both. Stay safe. xo Bev

Brenda in IN pravi ...

These are both so cute, Sonja. I love how you tied the strings together with the bow and added a heart. The bunny card is so adorable. Turning the balloons into eggs is so clever and your background looks wonderful and colorful.

Darnell pravi ...

You've given us so many details to admire with these awesome designs, Sonja! I love your fabulous sky background with the cross-stitch border and how you colored your balloon bouquet in rainbow hues! And your Easter card is being pinned! I really, really like the way you did stripes to portray the sky and grass on your scalloped panel. Now that kind of thing I can do and it makes a cool background for your adorable bunnies and their balloon eggs! So clever and so fun!! Take care and keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
