Darnell's Twofer challenge this time is all about umbrellas.
My two cards
The first is the traditional use of an umbrella
This poor little guy is from American Art Stamp. Nothing sadder looking than a wet dog sitting in a puddle. He got caught out in the rain and didn't get his umbrella (Hampton Art) hooked well enough on his ear. See how you can make the story fit your little boo-boo. The clouds are punched out and sponged with blue and gray inks. The raindrops are puffy stickers that have been in my stash for a waaaay looong time! The sentiment is my own and done on the computer.
The rest of the story:
This is a pre-colored digi from WinkWink Ink. Again, the sentiment is my own.
The twofer:
I turned the umbrella upside down and made some terra cotta pots with a scrap of orange. I stamped the umbrella on the back side so the lines don't show, and fussy cut them. The succulents are different stamps and die cuts from SU. The sentiment is an old unlabled one. Aren't they cute lined up on that Kraft paper shelf? The "wallpaper" is an Old Olive ombre print from SU.

Very fun and clever designs, Donna! Oh, man, that poor dog should've grabbed that umbrella! He is gonna have that wet dog smell, for sure! Very cute inside message and good advice, too! And your second design is terrific using the brolly to make planters for your succulents! I think all the papers work together well for this well-balanced and ingenious design! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #26! Take care and stay safe! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteOh dear, poor pooch, Donna ... he'll know next time to hang on tight with his ear! So fun ... and a great sentiment! Brilliant brolly succulent pots ... these plants are so stylish lined up on that simple shelf! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh Donna, that dog card is so cute. I wouldn't want him in the house until he was dry! The umbrella pots are so clever and that is a fun card.
