Hi it's Twofer Card Challenge time and the theme for Challenge #19 is Nautical... so I've chosen to make a Bon Voyage and a young male Birthday card.... always fun the challenge yourself to make two different cards from the same image.
For my first card, I stamped the yacht scene and used Twinkling H2Os to watercolour it. Then I stamped the portal and embossed it with silver EP... and fussy cut it, to use as a frame. I used a ripples stencil to emboss the white background panel and finished off with a stamped sentiment and used a stitched die to form a label.
For my young boy birthday card I stamped the above image twice and fussy cut the yachts...then used Distress Inks to watercolour them. I did the same for my boy. Next I created a little stream scene at the bottom of my card panel... sponged blue DO through the ripple stencil for the water and painted on the bank and grass. To finish I stamped the sentiment and used a stitched die cut rectangle to frame the panel and then attached my images.
I am also playing along with AAA Birthday challenge #4 - For the Boys ... And The Male Room challenge #117 - Birthday card - and congrats as they are celebrating years ... And Happy Little Stampers Watercolour August challenge - Option: Ocean.
Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate it, happy card making.
How clever! The little boat doesn't look miniature at all till you see it with the boy! Great duo.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant entries using two distinctly different designs showcasing your sailboat, Robyn! I love that your boat looks huge through the porthole bobbing up and down on those gorgeous waves with the sun and clouds in the sky on your bon voyage design and then it becomes two small sailboat toys for the young lad on your birthday card design! Great details on both with your texture, painting, and stenciling! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #19! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteFantastic duo! Love the mini view through the porthole and the crisp clean style of the second card. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Twofer cards, Robyn! I love the sailboat scene framed with the porthole! Beautifully colored! Putting the sailboats in the water for the second card was a brilliant idea! Perfect for a little boy!
ReplyDeleteCute cards, great designs -- your boat makes me imagine the smell of sea air!
ReplyDeleteThe ship really looks like it changed size by looking at the perspective of your two cards! I love the scene through the porthole and the great texture on your card. That little boy is so cute, and so boyish playing with his toy boats on your cleverly stenciled water! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous through-the-porthole scene, Robyn ... great against the ripply, watery texture ... and your colouring is brilliant! Great idea to use the yachts for your boating-lake scene with that little boy ... such wonderful detailing ... and so fun! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic twofer!!! Both of your cards are artistic and beautiful.
