I hope you are still feeling well and feeling creative.
When I saw this month's Twofer Challenge was umbrellas, I was kind of excited
because our February Craft Group Swap was umbrellas and I had done some
ATC cards with an umbrella. Fortunately I'd made an extra for myself.
The background of my ATC was splashed in DOX ink and dried between layers.
I used a coated paper so it has a nice smooth surface! The raindrops are Crystal Drops
and the die cut umbrella has been scored and shaped.
The sentiment is computer generated.
I dry embossed a piece of vellum to pop the ATC on and added a gem
to each corner, because this will probably go to Emmy and she loves gems!
But what to do for my twofer????
For my Twofer...
There were a couple of umbrella tops in the stamp/die case that just happened
to land to look like this. And it just spoke baby carriage to me.
I stamped some motorcycle wheels and added them to punched circles
to make this buggy go and used the umbrella handle to push the rig.
When trying to figure out where to put the sentiment,
I ran out of space and decided to just tie it on.

Twofer - Rain/Umbrella

Your umbrella twofer is fantastic. I would never came to the idea to make rain with the crystal drops. Have to try this out right today. :-)) To make baby carriage out of umbrella? Simply genius.
Stay safe!

Great inspiration with your umbrellas. The raindrops are so real and of course, I'm all about baby things so I love this baby buggy. Very clever how you used the umbrella for the top. Love both of these cards.
I love the bright and pretty look of the conventional card with the bright red striped umbrella and a great background with the raindrops so wonderfully glossed to make them stand out, and then the baby carriage is an inspired idea and love the look of it with the bright yellow and multi coloured zigzags, and the PB frame suits it perfectly. Fabulous results Bonnie! x
WOW...you nailed it this month Bonnie! Your rain card with the cheery umbrella and perfect sentiment is...PERFECT!! And your baby buggy is FABULOUS and I am so in LOVE with it!! Love how you tied the sentiment on the buggy too! Two wonderful and different cards!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Twofer Challenge!! Hugs. :0)
Bon-Bon, you made my day with this incredible pram!! Love the frame with the color peeping through and how you used the bolly handle for the carriage handle and motorcycle wheels to make it go! I also love the way you used a snippet of the chevron pp to stamp the Baby sediment and then tied it on with a bow! I know I'm gushing, but this is such a magazine-cover-worthy design! The other one is so-so.
Just kiddink! It's also fabulous and I love that you made it from an ATC. All the details of the vibrant pink with the stormy blue of the sky, the glossy raindrops, and the uplifting sediment and just great! I also love the stitched vellum panel; I've never thought to use vellum that way and I thank you for the idea because I've got a lot of vellum to use up. Take care and be safe and thank you for playing Twofer Card Challenge #26! Hugs, Dolly
Brilliant design, Bonnie. So clever to use the umbrella to create a pram. xx
Say what??? That baby carriage... I never! You are way too creative, Bonnie!
so cute Bonnie, love the baby umbrella carriage and that showery scene :)
Oh so cute.... but please fix the individual pic of baby buggy card... it's not showing in post (just a big gray circle with a white dash inside)
I too got the big grey oval for the final photo, but oh how I love these two stunning cards Bonnie - love the baby carriage in particular!
Stay safe
Blessings

Eeek! Look at that baby carriage! So clever Bonnie... Unfortunately I can view all the photos... Seems lots of blogs I'm following are having problems and I can't see the photos. Sending hugs your way... stay well
Both cards are wonderful Bonnie. The first one looks fabulous with the artsy and rainy background x. You had so much fun with the Baby card, which is so creative and is genius! x.
Wow, Bonnie, these cards are so creative ...and turned out to be such a sweet and fun look. Love the sentiment on the rain one and the crystal drops which look just like real raindrops. Also how you put together elements to create the baby carriage. I could go on and on but second cup of coffee is calling me. Have a joyful day, my friend.
Just when I think you are so smart, you go BRILLIANT on me!!! Bonnie, that baby carriage is genius!! and the stripes are pretty cute, too!

What a cute baby carriage the umbrella cuts made. So cute and creative. TFS
I love when things like that happen, Bonnie. Such a creative use of those umbrellas to make a baby carriage. I love the colors and the little sentiment tag. The background on the other card is fabulous and I love the dimension on the umbrella.
Both cards are cute and creative, Bonnie! The rainy sky is beautiful with different shades. Love that you used a dry embossed vellum piece pinned with pretty gems and added a little dimension to the umbrella. Emmy will sure love the card.
The baby carriage is simply an out-of-box idea! The way you added the sentiment to the card is perfect.
Wonderful twofers, my friend!

Bonnie, that is so creative, turning the umbrella into a baby carriage - love the colours you used for it! And the umbrella one has such a great background and sentiment.
So so clever and wonderful.
Keep safe and well

These are beautiful! So brilliant and fun to create a baby carriage! Love it!
Bonnie, love the sentiment for your umbrella card, so unique and fabulous with that beautiful red umbrella. Your baby card couldn't be more adorable and I adore the tied on sentiment. Thanks so much for playing along with Twofer Card Challenge.
Oh my gosh ... that umbrella baby buggy is SO CREATIVE AND FUN!! Great work with both cards Bonnie. I bet your craft group had so much fun making these! Awesome for the Twofer challenge!! xx
Such a creative look at the umbrella! WOW! You surprised me so much by creating this beautiful stroller from an umbrella. And the impossible became possible :-) I love both cards, thank you for sharing your ideas with us.
hugs,
BożenA xoxo
Two wonderful cards, Bonnie.
Great cards, and I love the buggy made out of umbrellas and parts! Nice job, Bonnie!
Great cards Bonnie and the buggy is truly inspired! Keep safe xx
What a brilliant use of the umbrella ! Love both cards!
Oh my, Bonnie, you really rocked this challenge! I love the rainy background on the brolly card and the Crystal Drops rain is perfect! Such a lovely sentiment too. And then the baby carriage is in a whole league of its own! Motorcycle wheels! Had a proper giggle about that, imagining taking the baby out for a spin! I love the combination of yellow body to the pram and the wonderful chevron paper hood - and then you made it even more adorable by making a baby tag in the chevron paper and tying it onto the handle! Just brilliant! Vicky x
This post is just loaded with cuteness. Such a creative way to use this umbrella. Both are very unique and loaded with brightness...love those raindrops and the rhinestone corners. Both beautiful xx
Wonderful Twofer, Bonnie! Just love your baby buggy made of umbrella parts and your ATC is beautiful with that rainy background!! Congrats on honorable mention!!
