Ok, if I don't spend an hour writing, I just might be your first commenter, yay! Now. Why did't I think of flamingoes?!! What a brilliant card, Brenda! I love the large black panel you've popped behind the heart and flamingoes on your first card. The pinks really stand out. And you've gone all tropical for your birthday card, too! Who wouldn't love seeing this in their mailbox??!! These are so fabulous, and I'm so happy you've joined us at the Twofer Challenge! Hope all is well with you. Bev
ReplyDeleteSomething sure did ping because these turned out fabulous! Oh, how I love the tropical look in the middle of our rainy day, and such a sweet Valentine with a bokeh heart. You did an amazing job for our Twofer Birds challenge! Thanks so much for playing along!

What a lovely pair of cards Brenda and how different they are even though the flamingo is used on both. I love the tickled pink sentiment and the mix of green colours on the birthday card and the modern graphic look on the love card!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your film and lunch before you hunker down.
Stay safe and I hope 2019 is a good year for you.

Wonderful cards with birds! I like your heart with perfect bokeh on first card. Birthday card is fabulous with the tropic background.
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful pair of cards Brenda - love these flamingos and how you have used them, and made two totally different cards.

Wowee Brenda!!
ReplyDelete.i LOVE your twofer, you’ve exclelled and covered the brief, Darnell does have us juggling about trying to stir our grey matter doesn’t she?
My problem was different design cos my card made already seemed to dictate one way. .. but then the lightbulb goes on.
So cool! Pity there aren’t real flamingoes in the wild. I was told they’re only in zoos now in Florida. Sad that.

I love your flamingo pair and the Bokeh heart, Brenda! And what a wonderful sentiment! The birthday card is such fun! That paper is perfect with it!
ReplyDeleteOH Brenda, I love your twofer birds! Love the Bokeh design on the pink heart and the tropical card is so much fun with those great papers and leafy designs! You are so clever to have come up with these! I have not had the time to sit down and even think about what to make yet, but I'm sure I'll have plenty of time this weekend during the storm! Stay warm and safe indoors if possible - it's really going to get bitter cold!
ReplyDeleteThese are such sweet flamingos!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Brenda :) Stay safe during the storm this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHugs my friend, Tina
You sure know how to enjoy bad weather, my friend! Your Twofer flamingos are fabulous! I love your definition love card in flamingo pink on black and go you for rocking the bokeh! (You should edit your post and enter this in Loll and Bonnie's CAS Mix Up challenge, too!) And your tropical design is the perfect setting for your second flamingo design! You know I love leaves and trees, so I'm wild about your double layers of leaves! Stay in and stay safe and stop falling down!!! Thank you for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #12! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteSo glad something pinged as both of your cards are fabulous. The flamingo image is so pretty. The first card is such a beautiful card, which I love. The sentiment and design is wonderful. The sentiment on the second card is fun and love the mix of the paper on the background and the wonderful stamping. Glorious cards, both of them.
ReplyDeleteHope the weather hasn't been too bad and hope you enjoyed your lunch and movie with your friend? x.
Those two canoodling flamingo are fabulous against that bokeh heart and dramatic black background, Brenda ... puts me in mind of the start of a romantic, stylish movie! The lush forest you created for your tropical flamingo is brilliant ... great colouring ... and how much more perfect could that sentiment be! Stay warm ... and thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards, Brenda. The Bokeh on the heart is so pretty and I love the leafy scene you've created on your other card. Hope you stay safe in the weather you're experiencing - stay warm and carry on crafting! xx
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteTruly sweet cards!
