I'm popping in to share a pair of cards for the current Twofer Card Challenge. This challenge's key word is leaves.
For my cards, I used Paper Smooches leaf dies, using one of the dies as a leaf on the November Blessings card and as a flower petal on the Happy Fall card.
- The former card will be going to my brother's family for Thanksgiving.
- The latter is going to a Send a Smile 4 Kids shipper. Since this is going to a young patient at a local Children's Hospital, I went with a simpler design and used only kid-safe embellishments. No sequins on this one.

Such pretty fall cards, Sybrina! That pp on your Thanksgiving card is a great background for any fall occasion! I love all the beautiful warm colors and the free-form arrangement of the leaves! I think you should win that sequin challenge; they really schparkled things up and I love the wide and bold sediment on vellum! Your card for a hospitalized child is delightful and will surely lift someone's spirits! Very clever to use the leaf as a petal for your smiling flower!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #9! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards, the one with the sequins looks awesome with that pattern paper! Great design with warm colors.Thank you for joining us at CAS-ual fridays with your sequins. Hugs ~ Ishani.
ReplyDeleteLovely, rich, autumnal colours, Sybrina ... those delicious leaves on the first really pop against the text background ... what a great idea to use vellum for the sentiment, it allows the design to shine! Such a sweet and cheery smiling bloom in a vase on your second card ... it's so fun and happy looking ... and is sure to lift the spririts of a little one in hospital! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYour Thanksgiving card just puts me in the mood for fall - that's saying a lot because I really like to hold onto summer! I think with the combination of the leaves and sequins, you make fall look magical! What a wonderful idea to use the leaves as petals for such a cheerful flower! There will be a smiling child somewhere, that's for certain! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
