Twofer Card Challenge #7

It's time for another fun challenge at Twofer Cards.  I can't believe it's number 7 already.  I wait every month to see what the next theme will be.  This month it's "beverage".  I have a couple of tea cup stamps but just to be different I went with a bottle stamp from Altenew.
For the first card I stamped the solid image several times using my MISTI and Altenew Turquoise ink, inking only the sides on subsequent stampings.  
The flowers are layered stamps from Altenew and the sentiment is from Dare2B Artsy.  (Yay! for Evernote.  I couldn't remember where it was from so I checked with them.)  

For the second card, I used the outline of the bottle.  I hope that's cricket. 😓
They are stamped in VersaFine Smokey Gray and colored with Zigs.  The sentiment for this birthday card is from CPD.  It's funny how some Zig colors blend a lot better than others.

Thanks for dropping by.  If you haven't already, I hope you check out this challenge.

I had so hoped to have more time to 'play cards' but it's not in the cards right now! LOve your use of this bottle - so clever, even if you had to drink a bottle to make the vase... lol

Terrific take on the challenge Bobby, I like the colorful bottles!

Yep, the bottle (which contains the beverage!) is definitely cricket, Bobby! The dimension you created on the vase version of your Twofer is fantastic ... and those yellow blooms are lovely with the vibrant cobalt blue! I'm thinking tropical cocktails for your celebratory cheers card ... so fun ... and such a great sense of movement! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)

Both cards are fabulous, Bobby! I love that you used one for a vase and your repeat stamping on the 2nd card showcases the clever shape on the bottles...very cool!

I love this fun bottle stamp! So much you can do with it! I love it as a sweet vase for your prayerful card and as a "line 'em up" Cheers card! Great colors, too!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #7! Hugs, Darnell

These are wonderful, Bobby! I absolutely love how you achieved the dimension on your flower "vase" with your MISTI stamping - such a great way to get that glass shine! Your group of colored bottles together make for a bright and fun way to celebrate! I agree with you about those inconsistent Zigs, why is that? Anyway, thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!

Absolutely two totally different takes with your cards Bobby! The colours you chose are so fun!

Such a great way to use that image Bobby! Love the bottle used as a vase! Gorgeous yellow flowers which look amazing in the bright blue bottle vase! And your line up of rainbow drinks are perfect for a summer day! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge! xx

How funny, I also have a few tea cup stamps - didn't even occur to me that I could use them....Did bottles just like you - I guess great minds think alike....Love your combo! they are both so pretty!

Twofer terrific, Bobby! Two fun cards featuring your bottles! I have an MFT soda bottle set somewhere in my stash; should bring it out for a play one of these days...
