One Image, Two Cards

This week the challenge at Phindy's Place is to take one image and create two cards with it.  This is a perfect opportunity to get extra use out of a stamp and the results can be be so different so I hope you will try it.

I had this post all ready to go yesterday when Blogger decided to go AWOL and when it finally showed up a while ago, it didn't bother giving me back the posts I prepared yesterday.  Their status page said they had temporarily taken the posts down and were in the process of restoring them but mine are gone so it wasn't temporary.  Not funny guys - I spent two hours creating all the posts.

I usually try to enter my cards in other challenges but since lots of challenge blog posts are gone, I am not going to this week.  

Card 1


I tried something a little different with this one and paper pieced her dress and the wee bows on her shoes digitally.  Phindy doesn't always close lines so once I figured out that I need to put a temporary bridge in before I filled it with the patterned paper, it was easy and lots of fun.

    Both of your cards are so lovely -- sorry you had so much trouble with Blogger (I'll keep my fingers crossed that they "find" your posts).

    Hi Cec, it has been one of those days with Blogger hasn't it!!! Lovely cards though, and I like how your differing colour-ways have given each card a different feel.

    Both are gorgeous. I love the digitally paperpieced elements, really cool, I'll have to give it a try. Love the soft color palettes of both cards as well.
