I Got a Twofer!!!!!

HELLO BLOGGING FRIENDS: I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY COMMENT SECTION FOR A WHILE NOW, SOME OF MY FRIENDS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME PUBLISHING THEIR COMMENTS AND THAT IS JUST TERRIBLE.  
MY FRIEND LESLIE MILLER FROM RUNNING WITH SCISSORS SUGGESTED TO CHANGE THE COMMENT FORMAT FROM "EMBEDDED" TO "POP WINDOW" SO THAT'S WHAT I DID, I TRULY HOPE THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU TO VISIT AND LEAVE ME YOUR SWEET COMMENTS, THANK YOU!!

Hello dear blog friends: I don't know if you know that there is a new challenge out there in Blog Land, this one was created by Darnell Knauss and it's called Twofer Card Challenge.  The purpose of this challenge is to create two totally different cards using the same stamp set, the occasion has to be different too, Darnell has easy to follow rules for this first Twofer Challenge.
Here are my cards.


It was a bit tricky to fit both of the cards inside my little cube so I think I'm going to have to think of a better way to do it for when I play again next time.



The fabulous image is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called "Best Birds" and I really love it.
All the images were stamped on Strathmore watercolor paper with Stazon black ink for the left side card and with Versafine black ink (clear heat embossed) for the one on the right side, colored with SU markers and Prismacolor pencils and then fussy cut.  The sentiment on the left side card is from the "Best Birds" set and the one on the right side is from Power Poppy Daffodils, I actually combined 2 sentiments from this same set.

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

And here's the picture of the insides of both my cards. Finishing the cards this way saves me time when I mail them, I think they look really pretty and finished.


Both sentiments are from the retired Stampin' Up! set called "Perfectly Penned", I really love the font on these sentiments.  The word SOON is from a sentiment set of unknown origins, LOL!! it's very old but I really like the different fonts and sentiments for any occasion.
The little bouquets of flowers are from a retired Flourishes set called "From the Garden".

I'm playing along with the following challenges.


As You See It Challenge, I used the sketch on the card with the bluebird.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.
Until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.
