Twofer Card Challenge 32

Greetings-

Its the 10th of the month so another Twofer Card Challenge is going live today.  The topic is:



If you've been a frequent visitor to my blog, you know I often start with choosing my stamp, die or stencil.   This month I am going with Paper Smooches Botanicals 2.  I do not have a lot to choose from for Silhouettes.


In order to play by the challenge rules:



I sketch out two card ideas before putting the time and effort in to create my cards only to end up with two looking very much the same.  Here is my sketch for this month:



Below are my Twofers, both together and individually.





Thanks so very much for visiting....and I hope to see your Twofers in the Gallery.

Such rich, saturated blending, Cat ... those leafy silhouettes are so striking against it on both cards ... fabulous designs, gorgeous finish! Hugs, Anita :)

The stamps you've chosen really highlight the amazing, rich, and gorgeous colors of your blended panels! I love that vertical strip on your thank you card; I'm really drawn to that. And the sunset colors of your birthday card are really quite lovely. I really quite like these! Stay safe. xo Bev

Beautiful colors and beautiful blending.

Everyone is feeling the ombreness around Blogland right now and it makes me itch to go blend some ombre myself! I love both your vibrant, beautifully blended, and distinctly different designs, Cat! You should edit your post and join in the Just Us Girls challenge! Keep well. Hugs, Darnell

Gorgeous ink blending, Cat! I love how you showcased the silhouettes with such beautiful colors and your CAS designs are perfect!

Mac Mable said...

Wow what stunning ink blending and colours. Both cards look amazing Cat x.

Gorgeous ink blending, Cat! You really captured the full richness of a sunset sky on your birthday card. Your thank you card reminds me of palm fronds and deep ocean waters - somewhere tropical is just where I'd like to be! A wonderful, thoughtful twofer as always, Cat!

Great twofer, Cat - just love your blended panels with the silhouette leaves/flowers! So interesting how the shortening the stems gave a totally different look on two fab designs!!

Marcia Hill said...

Both of your cards are absolutely GORGEOUS Cat! The ink blending on both is amazing and I'm loving just the partial flower you silhouetted on the side of your first card (neat idea!!) and what I'm really loving on the 2nd card is the black card base...SO striking! Lovely, lovely cards my friend! Hope all is well and you're staying safe?!! Hugs. :0)

Betty said...

ink blending with silhouettes is such a great combo and love both of your cards!!

Leslie Miller said...

OMWord, those backgrounds are gorgeous, all rich and glowing! Perfect setting for your crisp black silhouette stamp. Wow, Cat!

Beautiful!! Both cards are amazing and I like your idea for the twofer.

Jean said...

Two terrific takes with the silhouette image!

HilaryJane said...

I love those blended backgrounds, your leaves look stunning against them. I do love silhouettes but haven't made a silhouette card in absolutely ages. Perhaps I will find time to enter this month - we will see. Thanks for the inspiration xx

Greta said...

I love silhouettes & I adore both your cards, Cat! Really love the designs & color combos!

oldpunca said...

You have created stunning silhouettes twofer. Backgrounds are fantastic on both cards and the stamp is perfect as a silhouette.
I like your way how you start crafting. This is the step, I never do and therefore I have to impovize at the end not to get two similar designs. :-)
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog.

These are both such beautiful silhouette cards, and I love both simple designs! the shaded colors are amazing on each card too. One reminds me of cool autumn and the other puts me in the mind of a tropical paradise! Beautiful twofer!

Brenda said...

Loving your twofers Cat! The colors in both are so rich and beautiful. Love card 1, those greens and blues are so pretty and I love the CAS design, but yet it is so elegant too. The 2 card is like a beautiful warm sunset and it makes me feel like I can feel that sunset warming my bones. lol The silhouette you chose is such a pretty one and it makes such a beautiful birthday card. Love how you used it to make two very different cards. Hugs, Brenda
