Thankful Birds

 

I have been captivated by the SOS timed challenge.  Here is a twofer!!  (35 minutes for two = 17 min each), all stuff from stash.

I started out to make one card and ended up with a twofer.   I chose two coordinating papers (this makes it easy and saves time) and stacked them together then diecut with a double sided die.  Whoa, two cards almost made already.  Just grabbed snippets of chocolate and aqua card, diecut sentiments. Base cards are black, and white, one with a chocolate mat the other with an aqua mat.

One panel wrapped with chiffon ribbon and tiny gold pearls, the other tied with chocolate bakers twine.

DPapers are from Rosie's Wedding paper pad in dark chocolate and aqua (I've had this for years!).  

This challenge was such fun to do and takes creativity in another direction.  Hint: limiting the colour palette makes it fast - less decisionmaking required.
