Hi there blog friends ~ Darnell's Twofer Challenge #27 is up and running, and for the month of May, the prompt is 'Flowers'.
The rules for this challenge are to create two different designs for two different occasions using the same stamps, stencils, and/or dies...so, I grabbed one of my favorite stamp sets and got busy ~
For my first card, I started by blending DOX inks to create the background, then I used my MISTI to stamp the black silhouette flowers. A simple 'thank you' sentiment and this card was done!
For my second card, I wanted something with a spring/summer color palette...
For this card, I used my favorite color combo for the flowers and leaves and a very soft gray cardstock for the vase. I created a stencil with a shadow die and scored the card base every 1/2 inch, added my sentiment and that was it.
Here is the photo of both cards for the challenge blog ~
You have until the 24th if you would like to play along with the May Twofer Challenge...it's a great way to add to your stash!
I hope everyone is staying healthy! Sending cyber hugs to all ~
Supplies:
Stamps: MFT - Flower Silhouette card kit, Happy Hummingbirds; Altenew - Sentiment Strips
Dies: MFT - Flower Silhouette card kit, Shadows; La Pareja Creativa - Vase
Misc: Tim Holtz - Distress Oxide Inks; Taylored Expressions - Blender Brushes

These are lovely. I especially like that soft background on the silhouette one.
two such pretty cards - and love the colors and designs you chose - can't ever go wrong with flowers!
I just love the look of floral silhouettes, Barb... especially when the background is as pretty as your blended one! Stamping and die cutting your 'favorites' filled this sweet little vase perfectly, too!

I love how you've used these flowers, Barb! The silhouettes are so pretty against the soft color background! Love the vase of flowers that make such a pretty birthday bouquet! Two fantastic cards, my friend!
Love the silhouette images against the blue sky, so pretty and the vase is spectacular. Great Twofer :)
Barb, the two different designs are perfectly set for these flowers. They look great in silhouette and can add a colorful burst. Thanks so much for playing along at Twofer Card Challenge.
These are both gorgeous, and it is really hard to get my head around how you were able to get such different looks from the same stamps. I guess that it the point of the challenge. Anyway, stunning creations, and I'd love it if you linked up the 2nd card at CASology this week!!
Such pretty designs, Barb, as always! I love the sweet gray vase filled with fresh-cut wildflowers and the score lines and shadow are inspired! Thank you for reminding me with your second design that my solid flower stamps make stunning silhouette cards! And thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #27! Keep on keep well!! Hugs, Darnell
Your ink blending behind the silhouettes is so soft and pretty, Barb. I have this set and haven't thought to color the flowers like you did. They look fantastic in the vase.
Your twofer really shows the versatility of that stamp set - wow! I love your soft blended sky behind the silhouette of flowers in the field. Then you picked those flowers and arranged them so beautifully in a vase to show off their vibrant colors! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
Sigh ... Barb, these are both so lovely! The silhouettes are gorgeous against the dreamy, almost-glowing, blended background ... and how beautiful is your flower arrangement in that simple white vase ... delicious, especially with the subtle scoring in the background! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
I love how different both of your cards look using the same flowers! What a wonderful Twofer, your cards are inspiring as always Barb!
What lovely cards!! I like the pretty vase full of pink flowers and then how you used them in black and white on your second card. Really great idea!
Ooh these are so beautiful! Love the silhouettes on the inked background and your pretty summery flowers look gorgeous. Stay safe. xxx
Great work for the Twofer challenge Barb! Beautiful flowers for your silhouette card with lovely blended colour in the background. So delicate and peaceful. Then you have this bright bouquet of beautiful flower for your second card. Love the spring colours and the pretty vase. Great work, my friend! xx
Congrats on the win at TWofer, Barb! Just love both cards but especially the vase with the pastel flowers!!
Such lovely cards!! The silhuette card has an amazing background! I just LOVE it!!! The other card is beautiful too, but WOW - I'm out of words.
Hugs from your new follower
