Twofer Critters

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Guess what Darnell's Twofer Challenge is this month.


This fun stamp is from Technique Junkies.  I performed surgery on the stamp to
separate the ostriches and the sentiment. For these cards I didn't use the
sentiment that came with this set.

My Onefer....

For this card I stamped both ostriches on Mixed Media paper with Sahara Sand ink.
I stamped the sentiment, tore the bottom and sponged some ink along the edges.

My Twofer...

I fussy cut on ostrich out for this card and used a piece of 
mop up paper towel transfer for the background.

I've cut the arch from a piece of textured paper I found in my stash and
used a larger die to emboss around the die cut.

The witches hat has been stamped, colored and fussy cut.

And a Threefer...


While I was going I fussy cut the other ostrich from the previous card and
jazzed her up with a necklace of rhinestones.

This is actually my favorite of the bunch!

Did you guess what the challenge is this time?





Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Somehow I was going to comment on your twofer and more and I ended up at the 2019 retreat pictures that I'd never seen. Loved all of those.

Great cards. Love how you performed surgery. The background on your Threefer is lovely. [Bunny]``

Pat said...

Not just a twofer but a wonderful threefer Bonnie using these cute and fun ostriches, and love the embossed background and the way you have torn the bottom and inked it, and then the bright towel transfer background and the witches hat fits perfectly, then the last over that gorgeous background and the rhinestone necklace is fabulous. x

Oh Bonnie, what a wonderful three-fer - love the image you have used so incredibly differently on all the cards. What fun you must have had, as it shows in the cards. I do love that final bird with her bling!
Blessings

Vicky Hayes said...

What an brilliant image Bonnie and you have done it full justice! Love how the ostriches are leaning in on the first card, making the perfect shape for your sentiment. The backgrounds on the second and third cards are so inspiring and doesn't Mrs O look fabulous in her witches hat and also her bling?!

Mac Mable said...

Your cards made me chuckle Bonnie....They are genius ! x

JosieD said...

Who would have thought ostriches could look so adorable!! And the special Bonnie touches...the necklace on one...and the torn mat bottom sponged with ink. These kind of things are so clever and add much to the look.

First of all, I must have had my head buried in the sand, as I've NEVER seen these fabulous feathered friends of yours... and am so happy to have made their acquaintance today - three times charming, delightful, and extraordinarily colored to boot!!
Bonnie... dare I say it? Winner winner Ostrich dinner? yes, I guess I did!
LOVE the three-fer, too!

Bonnie, your twofer ostrich is so fun. Love the two for the birthday greetings...they just look ready for a party. Your Halloween ready bird is also dressed to party. Wonderful designs, and cute images. Loving the three fer too! Thanks for joining in at Twofer Card Challenge #20.

You have a winner with these three cards, Bonnie. That ostrich is hilarious! I love all of these! That last one rocks with that necklace. I did smile when I saw these! There are terrific!

Marcia Hill said...

Oh my gosh Bonnie...I'm just howling with laughter over here! All three of your Ostrich cards are FABULOUS...that look on their faces just totally cracks me up! You've colored all 3 of them beautifully and I love the jeweled necklace on the last card! Funny, funny, FUNNY and oh so cute!! Well done my friend!! :0)

I've never seen those ostriches used so fetchingly, Bon! All three cards are darling, well-designed, and finished! Great surgery, use of texture, and little finishing touches on each one!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #20! Hugs, Dolly

Izzy Scrap said...

OMG, Bonnie, these three cards are stunning ! Love them all. These ostriches are just so funny and they look so real. Love the way you coloured them, the different layouts are stunning as well as your backgrounds, especially the third one with the marble effect. You rock ! x

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, wow, Bonnie! These ostriches are too funny, and just look what you did with them! A Halloween card? Hahahahahahaha! Love both and I love that you created these for our Twofer Challenge!

Trina P. said...

OhEmGee, these are awesome, Bonnie! All great designs. So fun... they definitely made me smile. xx

Bobby said...

If there's anything I like better than an owl face it has to be an ostrich one. They are so cute with their long eyelashes. They made three wonderful critter cards, Bonnie, and if it wasn't a rubber stamp I'd probably buy it.

Cornelia (fun stamping) said...

That is one fantastic Threefer! Those ostrichs make me laugh! Congrats on your Twofer shout -out - my favorite set!!!!
