Hello my friends Happy Thursday. Are you shocked to see me here two days in a row? Well if you think this is nifty let me invite you to pop in again tomorrow for my, recently MIA, Fun Friday with Patti and Penny post. I hope you won't be disappointed.
I am getting in under the wire again on a fun challenge that I love to play with... Darnell's Twofer Challenge. Today is the last day so I better cut to the chase!
I have been getting some help on my Copic Marker selections. For my first card I colored the penguin with warm grays. For the second card I used cool grays, at Jeanne, owner of Creative Bliss blog's, suggestion. I doubt you will detect much difference but in real life I like the cool grays better for my cool - Popsicle wielding friend! : )
I wanted to use a similar design for both my cards in that I wanted to frame the little penguins in each card. The second card uses the same penguin image stamped twice - but with masking you can't see the popsicle behind the head of my front bird.
I think it is too late to suggest you join the fun at Darnell's challenge blog but I hope it won't be too late for you to pop over to see the amazing cards created by both her design team and her followers!
Edited to add: Darnell suggested I enter my cards in the gallery at Fusion Card Challenge. Thank you Darnell! : ) I have enjoyed seeing this great challenge in Blogland but have never joined in the fun myself... until today! check out this incredible inspiration photo...
Have a great day!

Well aren't they cute little fellas! I like the way you've framed them too. The frames on the first card are adorable. Delightful cards Patti!
These are so totally adorable Patti! Love your sweet penguins. And aren't they having fun!! :) Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge! xx
Your cards are adorable, Patti! I love the frames you used to highlight your images. Such a fun idea. I think your penguins look smashing and thanks for the shoutout. You are too kind and definitely didn't need to do that! Hugs!!
Hey girl! That little penguin is adorable! I have to say I love the design of your first card; the two small frames are perfectly proportioned for your card, and just put warm grays on my 'buy next' list for Copics! What a great set of frames on your second card, too. They're colored so wonderfully, and your masking is such a good idea - that little penguin is too cute not to use twice! Great cards, and I'm so happy that you've joined us at the Twofer Challenge! Bev
I'll borrow a fun phrase I received the other day, Patti... it is

You created such cute cards using that birdie image. I love them. I guess I never thought of using penguins but they are indeed birds. And, the ones you used are adorable. I am so glad you got these in under the wire.
Patti, you've perfected the CAS style I admire so much. It looks so good on you, and these darling penguin cards are a case in point. Cute and simple, clever, fun, beautifully crafted. I cannot love them more! I'm so glad to see you in our Twofer Birds Challenge!
