Hi, and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.
OOOOO! it's the weekend yet again so soon. LOL.
Well last night I finally created my Twofer cards to join in in Darnell's Twofer Challenge this month which is the theme of Balloons.
These cards are 7"x5" and 6" x6" in size.
I started by making my background colours with DOI in Spiced Marmalade, Bundled Sage, Fossilised Amber, for the first, and just swiped the colours across the page then I spritzed it with water and dried it with a heat gun.
Mermaid Lagoon, Worn Lipstick, and Shaded Lilac, for the second card, and I put the inks on my glass matt and smooshed them drying in between each layer, and then sprizted it with water and dried it with a heat gun.
The inside of the first is just plain so I didn't photograph it.
On the first card I stamped my Balloons and my sentiment and then I coloured the Balloons in with DOI and Crafters Companion glitter pen to give them sparkle.
On my second card I stamped the Balloons as my background design after flicking lots of the glitter pen all over with a paint brush to give it a lovely glitzy sheen.
Not sure if it shows up properly.
Stamped my sentiment in White Brilliance Ink.
The Butterfly, and the gorgeous beaded dangle Angel was made by Wendy L our team leader over at the MAWTT, and was my prize for winning her F/Book Challenge the other week.
Thank you so much for your visit, and precious time.
I really do appreciate every visit, and wonderful comment.
Lots of crafty love. JENNY.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

I love how you used the balloons as a background. Beautiful shine on your balloons and I love that yellow and orange ribbon. Two fun cards!
Clever use of the balloon stamp to create these two lovely cards - great for the challenge. Have replied on your previous comment to your question about background paper.
Fabulous balloon stamp, wonderful to see how you used it as a background and main image
Two fabulous cards Jenny, and what a great idea to used the balloon image to make the background for your second card, Kate x
I do love the backgrounds you've created on both cards, Jenny. Mine always turn out looking like either black dirt or brown dirt, lol!! So I admire your skill with this technique. Your birthday card is so fun, and those balloons look great all sparkled up. Very sweet. I was immediately taken by that pretty angel charm on your thank you card. The balloons over that pretty background really work. Great use of those circle dies, too. Thanks for joining us at The Twofer Challenge. Bev
They're both so beautiful!! I love how you've used the balloons!! The colors are gorgeous on the first and I love the background on the second!! Have a great weekend!! Big hugs :)

Hi Jenny, Two fabulous cards, I'm really loving your backgrounds, really effective !! I tried a Distress Oxide background this afternoon, and it is the first one I've been happy with hahaha, now I have the 'bug', I will be trying lots more.

These are just scrumptious, Jenny! I love the sponging and the five schparkly balloons you've tied in a glimmery bow for your birthday person! And you created another gorgeous background in beautiful colors with lots of schparkle for your thank you card! It's a beautiful hand-made DSP with those balloons! The pretty butterfly, doily framing, and sweet angel brooch all add a ton of interest!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #14! Hugs, Darnell
