This weekend, crafting has been the spoonful of sugar that's helped the (lockdown) medicine go down!
At
Twofer , the challenge is to use a rain or umbrella stamp and I did spend some time thinking about this, looking at various stamps etc until this unmounted Mary Poppins stamp (Lost Coast , I think) came to mind.
My first card was inspired by the sketch and 'it flies' theme at
AAA Cards . I stamped the top half of the stamp in pink and then printed a computer -made sentiment over the top.
I'd also like to enter this card into:
Always Fun cas
For my second card I stamped the rainbow(Clearly Besotted) and city (Concord and 9th) and created a rainbow background effect using Distress Ink pads. I stamped Mary Poppins over the top and then embossed 'magical' (cut from a MFT sentiment) in white ep. (This was quite nerve-wracking after all the time I'd spent on the rainbow - things do quite often go wrong for me when I try last minute sentiment things!) Finally , I stamped 'birthday wishes' in a tiny font at the bottom.
I'd also like to enter:
Little Red Wagon Mix em up - I used stamps from five different companies on this one!

That's terrific... I'd have had to look up how to spell that word Lol! Hope you are all well and stay well...
What a wonderful card! Thanks for joining us at AAA Cards!
Both of these cards are wonderful, Marina. I love the lined cityscape on the rainbow card, and the one with the pink silhouette is super FABULOUS!!!! I went right to the Lost Coast store and bought that stamp. Thanks for the inspiration. We can all use a little Mary Poppins right about now!
What a delightful scene! I'm loving all the stamping. Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
Love the Mary Poppins card! Just love that movie! I remember going to it with my sis when I was a young girl, so fun! Wonderful silhouette, stamping, and amazing color, so pretty! And, love the inside with the perfect sentiment!:-)
Two FABULOUS cards Marina! I love how you used the same image and came up with 2 totally different cards! Your 1st card is so CAS and I just LOVE it! And your 2nd card is quite the masterpiece and I can appreciate all the work that went into it! Thanks so much for sharing both these beauties with us at The Twofer Challenge!! :0)
I love Mary Poppins. Don't you just wish she would fly over and sweep away all this virus stuff? That rainbow effect and the city silhouette are fabulous and do make you think of magic. Cute one too with her peeping up from the bottom of the card.
What a great stamp set! I've never seen this Mary Poppins set before and you've made great use of it. Both cards are great. Thanks for playing along with us at As You See It Challenge.
We can all use a little magic these days. Both cards brought a smile to my face. Thank you so for joining in at Twofer Card Challenge.
I like both versions! I know that all I have wanted to eat are candy bars. it’s awfully good that we don’t have any!
Love them both Marina!
Love the big Mary Poppins. My oldest daughter, 42, loved and still loves that Disney film. A nice card to send a "Hello"!
Thank - you for keeping up with your blog, "A Perfect Life". It's hard to believe life is perfect during these times. Stay Healthy and keep well

It's obvious your Twofer designs were well thought out, Marina, and Mary Poppins with her iconic brolly is a fabulous star on both of your designs! I love the simple superetc perfect take on the sketch for your first card and you did a rainbow delight of a card for your second one! I so understand what you mean about the nerve-wracking last bit with the sediment on a card I've worked hard on. Sometimes I think, oh, I'll just wing this last bit without the MISTI and then I remember the old days when it all went horribly wrong, lol! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #26! Take care and stay safe! Hugs, Darnell
Great pair of cards Marina. Good to see you've used our sketch for the CAS one. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Keep safe, stay home and craft instead!
Both cards are wonderful. The first is fun and perfectly CAS and Wow to your rainbow and stamping on the seocnd x.
These are two fun cards and your rainbow card is so beautiful. I know what you mean about the last minute. I have ruined so many cards after hard work by doing something that messed up the whole thing.
Fabulous rainbow background on your gorgeous card! Thank you for sharing it with us at Stamping Sensations for our April challenge.

Very unique and pretty!

I have a Mr version of this stamp, sort of, and it’s from Lost Coast. These are two brilliant designs. So clever of you to use part of the stamp to fit in with the CAS sketch. And cool with the own made sentiment. As for the rainbow card, Wow. How did you even dare try the embossing? Luckily it went well. I know exactly what you mean on how things can go wrong as you’re approaching the stage of finishing touches ....
Perfect for our Challenge!
So glad that you have shared your great artwork with us here at Always Fun Challenges.
Good luck hun and do come back again!

Two beautiful fun cards! Thanks for joining us at AAA Cards.
Marina, your rainbow affect is breathtaking and I'm so glad that the embossed sentiment went well for you at the end. I know that problem only too well!! Mary Poppins works so well with this theme. Thanks for playing along with our Rainbow Challenge at As You See It Challenges!
Two fabulous cards but the rainbow behind your Mary Poppins silhouette is just breathtaking - fabulous! Thanks for playing along over at As You See It this week!
Thanks for joining Stamping Sensations with this great entry, good luck.
Happy crafting
