Twofer Challenge!

Hello my crafty friends, I hope everyone is having a wonderful hump day. It is a grey cloudy one here as we get ready for some snow to come in tomorrow night. So I'm hunkering down today and tomorrow I will go out for lunch and a movie with a friend, then hunker back down as more bad weather is coming for the weekend. So y'all stay safe if you are in the path of bad weather.

I wanted to try and join in on the Twofer challenge this month. I'm happy to say I got two cards made! The prompt this month as you can see if birds. This one was a hard one at first for me, but then something pinged and away I went on making them both. As always my supplies will be listed down in the recipe section. 

As always, your comments bring so much sunshine and happiness to my life. and I thank you for taking the time to visit me.  Again I am behind with commenting but hope to catch up today. Happy week everyone!

Bokeh Challenge

Hello my crafty friends, I know another post! How did I accomplish this?! Well this is a very, very simple card. I wanted to try my hand at the bokeh technique and wouldn't you know that CAS Mix Up was having a bokeh challenge this month! I also needed a thank you card, so why not combine the two. 

Well I have to say I found something out when making this card. I have had daubers in my stash for years. Did you know they go bad? Probably so, but I didn't realize it. lol So got out a clean dauber and went to use it for my white circles and wouldn't you know it just disintegrated! What a mess. So went in search of a TH sponge to use on the blending tool. Ok that is better. So I did the bokeh look, ink blending and stamping as well as wet embossing. I think I covered it all. As always my recipes of supplies will be down below.  I told you it was a very, very simple card!

As always I thank you for taking the time to stop and visit with me for a while. Your comments always bring sunshine to this part of my world, especially since it is still dreary and raining a lot here. Could be snow though, so I'm not going to complain....to loud! lol Hope to be around to visit you soon too.
