Twofer Card Challenge

Hi Everyone, I'm just squeaking in under the wire for the Twofer Challenge
My card is made using one of the Paper Artsy flowers (Eclectica³ {Kay Carley} 02) and by flipping then upside down I made my Christmas baubles.
 
 
 
Flowers- I stamped the images and used pencils to colour.
 

Baubles- stamped the image in Delicata Gold ink for a little shimmer; coloured the little petals and stems with pencils; and then blended ink through a stencil for the bauble.

Awesome twofers. Flipping the stamp upside down for baubles is clever and creative.

Brilliant idea to turn that stamp into snowflake-decorated baubles! They are so pretty in the soft blue. And I love the brighter cheerful birthday card. Fabulous Twofer!!

What a fun stylized dandelion puff flower! I love the whimsy and the pretty pencil-coloring of your flowers on your birthday card design, Christine, and how very cleverly you turned them upside down to make them Christmas baubles! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #34! Keep safe and take care! Hugs, Darnell

That is thinking outside the box for sure! It is so pretty to add the grass and butterfly to your flower garden and it is so pretty. Those Christmas baubles are just the perfect size to hang on the tree. Great idea, Christine.

Such sweet cards, Christine. Very clever to use this right-side-up, and upside-down! Those pretty flowers have turned into lovely Christmas ornaments. It's always fun to get multiple uses out of one stamp/stencil/die, isn't it?! You did a great job on these cards. Thanks for joining us at The Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. Bev

Flipping the stamp upside down is a simple and clever way to make Twofers, Christine!
One is springy and the other is wintry. The flowers are so fun and pretty, and the baubles are beautiful! Your coloring and stenciling is fabulous!

Ack! You are a clever girl to make one such pretty and happy garden card and then flip these stamps for Christmas baubles. Those little florets make perfect snowflakes with their six points!
