Twofer Guest Designer...

Thrilled To be The Guest Designer over at Twofer...
This months Challenge is Sun/Moon and these are my cards.....
I have used the same Memory Box stencil in both of my cards.....
My first card involved lots of blending, stencilling and die cutting.
I stencilled with several colours of metallic acrylic paints 
My second card involved Lindy Sprays, Die cutting, Stamping, Gold embossing
and Gold foiling with embossing paste....
Thank you for the honour of guesting with you this month......
Linda W. is also guesting this month and she has three wonderful and happy cards on her blog...
Tons of inspiration over on The Twofer Blog from the amazing Design Team 
and on Linda's.....
Thank you so much for popping into my blog...I truly appreciate it....
Challenges I would love to enter this month.........
Memory Box - Happy Holidays with my first 'Memories' card
The stencil is by Memory Box

2 stunners again Mac!
The first is such a glorious blend of colours and would never heave tried using metallic acrylic paints through a stencil - the result is spectacular.
And the fabulous gold foiling on the second simply jumps off the card.
Love it.

Both of your cards are vibrant and gorgeous! I love how you took such a large stencil and created two very different designs with it! That surfer girl tells a wonderful story on your ocean sunset and I love the sentiment you used on your second card! Thanks for guest designing for the Twofer Card Challenge!

Both are gorgeous, Mac. And what a clever way to use the same stencil on these cards. Using acrylics and mists you made two stunning cards. Thank you for the inspiration, my dear friend. Kisses!

Your talent is endless! Two amazing cards that have totally inspired me!

Tracey@Hotchpotchcreations said...

Oh my days, i'm kinda speechless now.. just look at the sheen on that gold embossing!! Makes me want to do a little happy crafting dance. A stunning created scene on your postcard the orange lights up that sunset with perfection. Your silhouette is just waiting to go do her thing and embrace the sea. You have a fantastic eye for colour and do incredible things with those embossing powders, now these are ones to be framed for sure..??
So glad I checked your blog today, i'm half hour late to start my day but darn it was worth it.. Hugs Tracey xx
P.S I did frame the seahorse (in a fashion..btw) x

The silvery rays against that magnificent ombre sky has my vote... especially with the reflected rays coming across the water. It's really amazing. The red and gold is great too, but my heart goes with silver.

Papercraft Boutique said...

Wow, both cards are terrific, Mac! The combination of the gorgeous ink blending and the shiny stenciling with metallic acrylic paints makes the sunset scene so dramatic.
The brightness and energy of the second card is amazing! I don't know how you did it, but the texture of the right and bottom sides of the card is unique and special.
Fantastic job as a Guest Designer! Congratulations!
