Trees cards 3 and 4

Using 1 stamp in 2 different ways for 2 different occasions:

Cards 3 and 4 are 2 more different ways I used the same little pine Christmas tree stamp for a posting a few days ago. These two new cards missed the deadline for the Twofer Card Challenge no 6 Trees theme but I will link to A Inky Mess challenge blog's new month of mixed media that starts today, 25 June 2018.

Card 3 Tree stamp; layered; brads to simulate pine cones; colored pencil outlining of tree and muted marker ink soaking through from bottom layer; 2 different Thanksgiving theme sentiment messages stamped and an adorable felt hedgehog stick-on to complete this Thanksgiving card.

Card 4 Tree stamp used repeatedly with silver glitter and some blue and purple colored pencil accents on trees; white paint pen for sentiment; blue and lavender ink swirled for cloud; 3-D butterfly sticker to complete this sympathy card.

These are cards 1 and 2 from a post a few days ago. O Holy Night Christmas card has torn paper and white paint pen snowy accents on trees and snow ridges. Thinking of You card has pine tree stamp made into blueberry bushes! Blue and purple markers to make the blueberries, black ink for the birdie stamp, blue ink for the thinking of you stamp, 2 shades of green for grass details and brown for dirt (colored pencils).

A total of 4 different occasions for 1 stamp of a tree. Yes, all 4 were stamped but each has been highlighted uniquely and/or put on different papers (white cardstock, blue cardstock/pre-folded blank card, and 2 were on minty green paper). The intended goal of Twofer Card Challenge is that 1 stamp or die (tree theme for June) is used 2 different ways on 2 occasions/cards.

For A Inky Mess challenge blog (AIM), it is a mixed media monthly challenge. Check what the design team has created for the June/July inspiration:

Twofer Card Challenge #6 trees

This will be my first time to enter in a challenge for this fairly new blog:

Twofer Card Challenge #6 Trees

This month is about using a tree stamp or die in 2 different ways for 2 different occasions/cards, so I've used a small pine looking tree stamp for a thinking of you card and a Christmas card.

Trees

For the thinking of you card, I've tried to make the little trees resemble blueberry bushes and stamped a birdie next to one of them to add to the scene. There are also faint blue clouds, some grass and dirt to finish the scene:

And for the Christmas card, the tree was stamped multiple times onto green paper and then the paper was torn surrounding them. A white paint pen was used to add snow onto the branches. Torn/inked baby blue paper was used to mimic snow mounds. "O Holy Night" was added as the sentiment for this one's Christmas message:

I'm glad I came across this new challenge blog during my commenting on others' creations. My brain needed to be tweaked, adjusted, and kick-started into using old items in new ways.

Until next time,
