Today I'm playing along in the Twofer Challenge: Spring Animals. I was pretty sure there was something in my not-yet-used basket that would be just the ticket and, sure enough, SSS Woodland Whimsy was the one for me. I have a "hello" card and a baby card featuring the little fawn.
I knew I would love this set. Isn't it sweet? I used the fawn once before, but this is the first time I've sat down and really played with the set. I used 13 of its stamps on these two cards and there's a lot more to go.
For the "hello" card I stamped the fawn, then stamped a patch of foliage around her without masking. Colored with Copics, sponged the background with distress oxide inks. Drew a few grass sprigs. Nothing spectacular, but cute and fun. Cut out and popped up the trees and the sentiment.
Inside is shown below. These little foliage and flower stamps are fun to work with. It has almost a folk art look. With the "hello" on the front and it being blank inside I can use it for any number of occasions.
It's been a while since I made a baby card and I've always enjoyed them, but this is quite different from most I've made. However, I love it to pieces. Again, those flowers make a pretty accent.
Inside is more of the patterned paper and a flower sprig and this very heartfelt sentiment that chokes me up a little bit.
Well, I'm sure glad I took the time to make these cards. It felt great! Thanks, Darnell and all the Twofer team for such fun inspiration!
You all have a happy day and I'll see you again later this week, I hope.

I can see why you love this stamp set. You got two very different cards. I don't know which one I like better. Fabulous as usual.
Wow! That really is a good buy when you consider how many stamps are in the set! Well done using so many of your nearly NBUS set to make these two darling cards, Leslie! I love the unexpected green hues of that sweet baby card! A green heart seems perfect for spring time! And your fawn in the stand of birch is a fabulous scene for saying hello!! Thank you for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #25! Keep on keeping those viruses at bay by making cards!! 😷 Hugs, Darnell
TWO sweet cards, I do love the way you used each of those deer images and the pretty greenery. Pretty backgrounds and papers too! Keep well, Leslie! Inspired by your lovely designs - I'm going to try your crafting remedy soon.
These are really sweet cards! I love the little fawn stamp. That's a lot of stamps in one set. It's nice that you can use them for different types of cards. I would not have thought of using the fawn for a baby card but it looks great! All nonessential stores in PA are shut down as of midnight tonight. No malls, movies, restaurants - only food stores and pharmacies will remain open. Actually there is not much at the stores anymore but bare shelves. Fortunately, we had stocked up before everyone went crazy. Rachel will be dropping off supplies when we need them. Take care and be safe!
Both your cards today are beautiful Leslie! Love them both, but am partial to the baby card. I would of never thought of using the fawn for a baby image. I really like how you added the little green dots around the fawn to pick up the green heart and background, just so sweet! Nice to see this set is very versatile!
Love seeing your post today, take care Leslie! Hugs,
Ohhhhh I love this deer, and what you did with her on two cards!
Oh wow you did a fabulous job with this challenge, you are always so good at it. I love that little deer and the way you did the grass and the trees with her is just so cool, the baby one is so sweet with her in the heart, you have used the flowers so pretty on both, I love the papers, Excellent creations!
such sweet cards Leslie, that little deer is so adorable. I love the scene you created with the trees and the wood frame on the second card has so much texture :)
These are both so darling! I love how soft and tender they both look. The flower springs do add a soft touch to the designs. Such great work.
They are both so cute and so well-done, Leslie!! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!

Hello Leslie: I was wondering if you were going to play along with the Twofer Challenge and I'm so happy you did.
These cards are so darling, beautifully colored and the little fawn has stolen my heart, that face is just the sweetest for both occasions.
Sending lots of virtual hugs.

Both are very sweet and pretty. The tree line along the one side is very clever and cool idea! Fabulous coloring miss Leslie.
