Twofer Card Challenge 27

Are ya ready for another Twofer Card Challenge?



A quick review of the rules:


This one was hard for me. Which is probably a surprise to many of you...I love flowers but trying to make two distinctly different cards with flowers when I have my go to design on most flower cards
almost on autopilot really made me glad I start my designs with sketches for this challenge.



My cards together:

and individually




I hope to see your flower Twofers over in the gallery this month.
Thanks for visiting.

Both cards are vibrant and absolutely beautiful. The hello card is bright and cheery and how creative to make the flower into a fabulous wreath on the celebration card x. Both cards distinctly different and amazing x.

Your flowers are gorgeous, Cat! I love both of your designs, and agree with you that some of my go-to designs keep me from different ones, but you nailed it!

Darnell said...

Great minds, Cat! Do you see how my underlying designs look like your sketches?! I love that floral image and how you've let it stand proud and free on your friend card with that great scalloped curve! And the way you cut and formed the flowers to make another curved shape on your celebration card is so clever! I love seeing more and more colored card being used around Blogland now and your choices for color on these two beauties just rocks! Take care and keep on keeping safe! Hugs, Darnell

Well, despite it feeling hard you have come up with 2 really great cards, but I know what you mean. I have that problem generally with the twofer challenge (it's probably why I haven't joined it for a while). I love the bold colours you have chosen, just wonderful xx

Betty said...

such a great idea to use the flowers for a wreath - two beautiful cards, Cat!

Jean said...

Fantastic take on the challenge - both are stunning.

Marcia Hill said...

You'd never know you struggled with this one Cat...both cards are different and absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Love the bright and bold colors on both and especially love how you made a wreath with the purple blooms. Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Two absolute lovelies, Cat ... the rich colouring on the first is just delicious ... and it's so pretty with the scalloped edging! What a great idea to create a wreath with the flower heads on your second card ... so clever ... dimensional and full of depth ... positively touchable! I did smile seeing your Twofer ... nearly used the same set for mine! Great minds through the ether! Stay safe, my friend ... hugs, Anita :)

Wow this is amazing. I'm very thrilled how you used the flowers!! Beautiful!!

Crafting Queen said...

Wow, both cards are stunning. Great way to use the flower stamp.

Greta said...

Love them both, Cat! Don't think I've ever made a wreath with big blooms like you did & it's spectacular!

Lucille K said...

Two beautiful cards, Cat. The wreath is so creative :)

Barb Ghig said...

Oh my gosh, Cat...you really knocked it outta the park with both cards! My mind is spinning over here because I rarely create with flowers, but you definitely Ace'd it with your sketches...I may have to do that, too and see what happens :) Thanks so much for inspiring me to play along, as always! xx

TK said...

I'm with you, Cat, you MUST get creative to change up flowers! You've mastered it though - they're pretty and perfect!

Linda W. (ScrappinBari) said...

Beautiful twofer, Cat! Especially love the wreath you created with those big blossoms!!

Vicky Hayes said...

I'm loving your use of coloured card stock for your two cards Cat and your very different designs. The beautifully coloured bunch of flowers in the first looks wonderful against the white doily, and I love the way you turned the heads into a stunning wreath in the second. Vicky x

Liz Williams said...

I love your vivid colors, love the layout for the yellow flower, and I love how you made the flower into a wreath on the purple one. Great ideas shared here.

Leslie Miller said...

Wow, look what you did! OMG, these are fantastic, Cat! You really rose to the challenge and did it beautifully. Brilliant to make a wreath from that gorgeous stamp. I love it on the colored card base, too. Sorry I'm so slow to get here. Life.

Brenda in IN said...

So clever to make a wreath from those flowers. The purple is beautiful and I like the scalloped curve design with the orange and gold.

Craftychris said...

Both of these are gorgeous! Such lovely colours. I never think to map out my designs beforehand, maybe I should! Stay safe! xxx
