Hello and thank you so much for visiting me. One of the challenges I am entering today is Darnell's fabulous 'Twofer' Challenge. Here are my cards:
The bird is the silhouette and leg parts only of a Hero Arts layering bird and branch clear stamp set. I have had this for a few years and this is the first time I have inked it up!
This is a birthday card for a friend who doesn't read this blog - her birthday isn't until next month.
Inks -Versafine Clair Nocturne, Purple Twi;ight and Summertime.
Words are Bee Crafty - Stamped on snippets of card and fussy cut out.
Crown - Lavinia Stamps.
Layering dies - Lisa Horton.
Sparkles - Moon Dust by Lavinia Stamps
I turned the bird into a robin for this Christmas card.
Inks - Coffee Archival, Tulip Red Versafine Clair and Acorn Versafine Clair.
Layering dies by Clarity Stamp - All cut from Snippets of card.
Words - Stamplorations.
Snow - White Posca Pen with glitter added for sparkle.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Darnell's Twofer Challenge - Two cards using the same stamp or die but with totally different designs and occasions.
Darnell's NBUS Challenge - use Never Before Used Schtuff - mine is the bird stamp set.
Pixie's Snippets Playground - Use Snippets.
Allsorts Challenge Blog - Feminine/For A Lady -I am entering the DL card into this challenge.
Stamping Sensations - For A Lady - I am entering the DL card into this challenge.
Sorry the photos are not very good but I am too tired to take more and I want to post this before I go to bed. I am definitely no David Bailey!
Thank you again for visiting me and take care! Hugs Christine xxx

Great cards Chris…loving that robin…..take care xxx
So glad we could help you finally use your bird set Chris, and you used it beautifully on both cards!! Your birthday card is fabulous with the row of birds, and I especially love the crown on the birthday birdie!! And your Christmas Robin is just as sweet as can be and colored beautifully too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Twofer Challenge!! Marcia (DT) :0)
Both gorgeous cards and a great way of using snippets. I love how you inked up your robin, it looks fabulous. Thanks for joining us in the Playground,

Clever crafting Chris with such different effects with the same stamps, from season to one that would fit so many occasions and really like the one pink birdie popping from the flock in his or maybe her regal crown.
Perfect for our themes at Stamping Sensations and Allsorts challenges, thank you so much for joining in.

So creative to use the bird in totally different ways. The birthday card is such fun and with a great sentiment too x. I love how your 'robin' turned out and what a pretty Christmas card x.
Oh, well done, Chris!! I love your slimline row of birds with all of them in silhouette except the star of the day, the birthday girl, who is all decked out in her finery and her crown! Love it and love the sediment! You did a brilliant job of making a sweet robin for your pretty Christmas card and surrounding her in festive red and white! Thank you for playing in TCC #40 and sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous birds Twofer, Chris. Both cards are awesome. I like your birthday card. Sentiment matches perfectly. Christmas card is fabulous in red and white with nice colored bird. Thank you for joining us at TCC #40. Hugs, Sonja
I love how you've dressed up your pink bird as queen! And the Christmas robin is just lovely!
Your first card is really fun and made me smile. What a great job you did turning him to a robin. Clever use of the layering stamps - I find them a bit too complicated but you've shown how to use them just a effectively in a simpler way.
They are both so beautiful Chris but that first one with the pink bird among the black ones just knocked my socks off!!
A great twofer - two very different bird cards yet using the same stamp. Very clever Chris.
Hope you and Darren are well.
Hugs, Neet xx
Fabulous cards!
Thank you for sharing at Allsorts;-))m
I love it when you can get different looks from the same stamp, always great to have a versatile stamp set in your stash. Thanks for joining in our Feminine challenge at Allsorts this week.

Two great cards Chris! Love the row of brightly coloured birdies - that a super DL shaped die by the way! And the Christmas card is adorable.
Apologies for being late commenting.

Gorgeous Robin and really lovely cards Chris hugs Sue x
Two great cards Chris and a great way of using all those little bits up x
I obviously haven't been reading your blog either! Totally missed this post. Just brushing the crumbs off the naughty step and now found penance. What a super stamp to turn it into two such different cards. Hats off yo you. Love them both. Hugs Mrs A.
