Happy Sunday!! I've been missing in action this past week but just had to make time for the Twofer Challenge. For Challenge 36 Darnell & team offer the theme of "your choice"!! Here's my Twofer with my choice of dragonflies:
I'd been thinking of making a slimline card with the Hero Arts Color Layering Dragonfly so I started with that idea. When I put it together, I added the bitty dragonflies and I decided they would be my common element, rather than the bigger dragonfly. The slimline became a birthday card with the sentiment dividing the card in two. I die cut a Tulisa Collage from Poppystamps (sadly retired) into each half of the stitched panel, then backed it with a piece of printed watercolor patterned paper. Stitched panel came from an LDRS creative die set; my friend Lin (Sending Hugs) enabled me to purchase this set - a great value with 14 dies!! Here's a closer look with supply list:
So, you need a different occasion for the second Twofer card, even though I had birthdays on my mind. Hmmm, had to think a minute. Then realized my brother and his wife plan to retire soon - I'll need a card for each!! Thought the bitty dragonflies would be pretty with a Spellbinders floral swag on an A2 card for my sister-in-law. Here's a photo of that one alone:
I'm also entering the retirement card at Watercooler Wednesday All Things Feminine.
That's it for today. Thanks for visiting and I hope to visit your blogs soon too!

fantastic cards Linda. The dragonflies are adorable. Love the colour combos.
A great choice of prompt, Linda ... I do love dragonflies! Your birthday card is wonderfully texture-y and dimensional ... and how pretty is the floral frame with those tiny, delicate little dragonflies fluttering around it ... lovely detailing! Thanks so much for your visit and sweet words ... and for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
