The Twofer Challenge ends tomorrow, so I'm sneaking in a last minute entry. The theme this month is 'Wheels', using the same stamp, stencil, or die for the prompt on two different designs for two different occasions.
I am joining in the Twofer Challenge with this pair of cards.
The die I used on both cards is the Memory Box 'Vintage Bicycle' die. On the first card I used the die with silver mirror card and layered it on a Memory Box 'Postage Square' die. I wrapped silver thread around the corners and raised up the square on a foam sheet. The text background paper is from Anna Marie Designs.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
For my second card I made a good luck/thinking of you card. I used the same die with snippets of yellow card, just die cutting the small wheel. I backed the die cut wheels with a paler yellow card. I added a couple of punched green leaves to the bottom lemon and raised it up on foam pads. The sentiment is computer generated.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:

brilliant idea to use the wheel to make lemons and a fun card with the sentiment, love the penny farthing card too
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable designed creations Liz. Love them and the colours are gorgeous.xx
ReplyDeleteSnap! I've got a penny farthing up on my blog today Liz. In fact you can enter this into the Daring Cardmakers latest Victorian challenge too! Super duo. Shabneez x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shabneez, I've linked it up to the Daring Cardmakers Challenge. xx
DeleteGreat CAS Card !
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are super cute, Liz. Especially that bicycle. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteWhat a very clever use of wheels in the way you used them on both cards! Love your creativity! I wish I'd found time to play, but missed this month's twofer :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Twofer cards Liz and love the way you have used the small wheel for the lemon slices and the perfect sentiment cleverly computer generated, such a great idea, and I love the embroidery thread on the corners of the pennyfarthing topper and the background sentiment dp, also the blue and silver is a pretty colour combination. x
ReplyDeleteVery clever use of that die. Love both these cards. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant set of cards Liz - you would never guess they came from the same die. The penny-farthing is masculine yet still very elegant. But I love your citrus burst of lemon slices from the small wheel, and the sentiment is such fun too. Here's to a good old G&T Cheers! Thanks so much for joining us at Less is More xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards and I love how you changed the wheel into lemon slices.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful ideas executed so well.
ReplyDeleteGREAT thinking Liz and a fabulous result on both cards.

Wow what a fab idea to use the wheel as lemons! Both cards are stunning and thanks for joining in with our monochrome challenge over at MAWTT,

You are so talented and clever . . . when there is a challenge made, you hit the nail on the head :) Thank you again for your prayers, we are so very grateful. We feel the love :)
ReplyDeleteSo clever, Liz! Your navy and silver design is very elegant and I love the way you wrapped the thread through the cogs of the postage stamp die! Great idea! I thought at first you had silver-embossed lines somehow. And how fun that your wheels worked perfectly for lemon slices on your second summery design?! It's another fabulous card and I concur with the message, lol! (Only make mine wodka!) Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #16! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteDarnell likes Grey Goose wodka - and also the pips from the lemons. Well, that's what they did to her in Southampton when she was over! :) x
DeleteFAB-u-LOUS makes for both the TWOFER and LIM challenges

What a stylish penny farthing in that silver and navy, Liz ... and so striking with the touchable silver thread corners! Your fruit slice wheels are so fun ... zesty and zingy and with a fabulous sentiment! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI completely concur with Kathy K's comment above!

How clever! Wheels on a penny farthing and then lemon slices! So creative. I thought the bike was stamped and embossed in silver! Love the silver threading too!
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards, what a great way to think outside the box and create the lemon card with the die.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge this week!
Kath - two wonderful cards and using the smaller wheel to make lemon slices (along with the sentiment of course!) is such clever thinking!

Wow Liz! what a clever take on the wheels challenge...you really have thought outside the box. They are both brilliant in design! xx

ReplyDeleteOh Liz, I'll drink to that! Love the lemon slices and great sentiment. I also think your silver birthday bicycle is fantastic! Two great designs, and wonderful creativity! Thanks for joining the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever and creative way to use the wheel theme. Your masculine birthday card is so classy and the design is striking. Fabulous second card and loving those lemons x
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic "wheel" cards, Liz. Love the blue and silver vintage-y card ... such a classic colours combination. The pennyfarthing bike looks amazing heat embossed in silver and I love the silver thread you've wrapped around the corners. Very creative and beautiful! And what a fun card creating lemon slices from your smaller wheel stamp. Perfect sentiment! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge! xx
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards Liz. I love how creative you were to use the wheel to make your lemon slices xx
ReplyDeleteSuper cards Liz, a great idea to make your little wheels into lemons.

Such clever use of that penny farthing die - I have that one and wouldn't have thought of making lemons from it, full marks for ingenuity.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant cards. Love the lemon one so much. Congrats on being a playground pick.
