It is easy to see the Harvest connection with my sympathy card using the fall colors on the leaves. The lily on the birthday card is a bit more of a reach as I thought of planting fall bulbs to harvest spring and summer flowers.
Mama Elephant Freestyle Floral images and PTI Penned Elegance stamps are used on both cards.
Tracey's Muse #286 card inspired the rectangular wreath of leaves and buds. Copic markers in the Color Throwdown #514 colors filled in the sketchy shapes.
The sentiment is positioned first on the birthday card and then the floral images stamped and masked before being colored with Copic markers. The finished panel is popped up on a purple card base.
My third card is inspired by Cornelia's starry night for Muse ChristmasVisions #110, using the inked sky, trees and sentiment.
The Poppystamps Open Hillside and Snowscape dies are layered for this card. The sky piece of the Snowscape is inked with Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress inks before being adhered to the card base and the snowflakes inset back in place.
The PTI sentiment is stamped on the Open Hillside die cut before it is layered on the card base.
Thanks for stopping by!

Wow, so peaceful!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike, Jacquie ! These two challenges were very inspiring and you made two gorgeous cards. Love your sympathy card with the rectangular wreath, CAS as usual. And what a great idea to use the same leaves to pop up the beautiful lily on the birthday card ! But you stolen my heart with your third card...a stunning beauty ! The sentiment is just the perfect one for this peaceful project. LOVE it. Thanks for sharing and for inspiring.
ReplyDeleteLook at you go! These are fabulous! Love the rectangular wreath - unexpected and beautiful, and your night sky really makes all that white pop! Thanks for joining us at Muse and MCV!
ReplyDeleteAll of your cards are fabulous. So pretty. I came here from Muse and your pretty Autumn rectangular wreath.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Twofers and I love the winter scene one too.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are truly lovely, Jacquie. Your sympathy card is serene, and very appropriate for this time of year (if one may say that...). And how clever is the planting of bulbs for a future harvest idea! Your coloring is beautifully done, too! Thanks for joining us at the Twofer Challenge, Jacquie! (Gorgeous snowfall card, too!) Bev
ReplyDeleteLOVE the construction of your card! You had me at the snowflakes and I'm glad you told us how you did them!
ReplyDeleteSwooning over those big snowflakes. Amazing, you fiddled them all back in! and the Twofer cards - I would have never guess you used the same stamps....hopefully I find a few minutes to play along, too... So sorry for the late visit, but my life is crazy right now. Thanks for playing along with me at MCV!
ReplyDeleteYou've made three stunning designs, Jacquie, and I'm loving them all! Your Twofer cards reflect the challenge so beautifully in terms of stretching our design skills! I love your leaves for fall and the whole idea of a rectangle wreath! Why not?! It's gorgeous! And your purple flower arrangement is sensational for this time of year, made even richer by that dark purple card base! I'm also loving your pretty winter scene with the snowy night sky!! Thank you so much for playing with us in Twofer Card Challenge #10! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI love your Twofer designs. The colours are the first one are just beautiful and the autumn leaves wreath is so effective. Gorgeous Christmas card too, so striking in blue and white. xx
