A Pair of Silhouettes.

 Hello everyone: I hope you and your families are doing well, take care of yourselves and each other and please, wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I usually create my cards for The Twofer Challenge not very long after I find out what the theme is but, this time around, I got stumped.  The prompt for this challenge is "Silhouettes" and I knew I was in trouble. I only have 2 sets with solid silhouette images so I pulled them out and placed them on my work table, so I could stare at them every day and try to figure out what to create with them.

Here are my Twofers.


*********************************************


I decided to use this image from an old SU set called "Fabulous Florets" (2011), the little bird was punched with the SU "Bird Builder Punch"
The sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called "Calla Lilies".

This is the INSID


The sentiment is from the Flourishes set.

Here is my Twofer.


Same silhouette plus I added the butterfly from the 2012-2013 "Papillon Potpourri" from SU, I can't recall where the sentiment is from.

The sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called "Everything's Even Rosier".

I want to play along with the following challenges.



Use Punches.

Thank you for visiting me today.
Stay healthy, safe and PLEASE wear your masks!

I love that you did your silhouettes for the bird card in red. Very pretty! The background for your butterfly card is on fire! Beautiful glow and really showing off your pretty silhouette stamps. These are fabulous for the Twofer challenge, Maria!

You chose well with this set, Maria! I have it and I think it's one that will be classic forever. It especially makes a lovely sympathy card like the one you've made. The scalloped oval frame and punched bird are just the right design elements. And it makes an equally beautiful silhouette on your Just Because card stamped over that pretty blended background! Who wouldn't love some butterfly kisses in the mail? Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #32! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell

Two beautiful CAS cards. The second card has a very nice mood.

Your contemplation of how to use these stamps paid off in spades, Maria! That floret is simply gorgeous, and you've turned it into two very lovely cards. I love that added bird on your first card, and am mad about the striking background you've created for your second card. These turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for joining us at the Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. Bev
