Twofer Card Challenge #3!

Hello, Stamplings!

Happy weekend to you! We are back from our beach getaway where the weather was glorious! You never know when you go in winter, but we had the luck o' the Irish this time.

I've got my March Twofer cards to share with you today!

Our prompt for March is "BLOSSOMS"

Onefer

I used an Iris die from Penny Black as my blossom prompt. This design is a little outside my Minnie Mahlist comfort zone, but I have to say it was fun to make and it will brighten up someone's window sill, especially when the light catches the winking! The stitched frames and the flag banner are all from MFT.

Challenges

• Addicted to Stamps and More: Make your mark.
• The Flower Challenge: Anything goes.
• HLS March Anything Goes With Dies: Anything goes.
• Pixie's Snippets Playground: Use your snippets!

Are you standing on your head or cocking it to one side? Don't hurt yourself! Hammy's the one who spends a large part of every day hanging upside down from his wheel, so he's the one who noticed that the main part of the iris blossom looks just like a moose head when you turn it upside down.

Does this help you see it better?

Aha! Now you see it!

A snowy embossed background, a hand-typed sediment, a stitched oval frame, a bow from Memory Box cut from glossy red paper, a simple black matting, and googly-eyes finish the job and another Christmas card goes in the stash.

(I'm sorry that it ended up looking a bit like a dead moosehead plague hanging over a fireplace.😲But this guy is very much alive, I promise. He had his choice of background for the photo session and he chose the simple white oval framing for a silhouette effect because he thought it looked slimming.)
