Twofer Card Challenge #26

I must say the Twofer Card Challenge really makes you put your creativity cap on and think outside the box.  Plus look through your stamps and see them in a new light.  This month the prompt is
I searched my Evernote and found the perfect umbrella to use for my two cards in the Bear Ware set from EbyE.
For the first card I stamped and masked three beach umbrellas, leaving off the handle so I could stick them in the sand.  Distress Ink made the background and Zigs painted the umbrellas.  The sentiment is from Warm Fuzzies, an addition to the Bear Ware and Inside Bear sets.
When I saw another sentiment from the Warm Fuzzies set I knew I needed to use it with the bear himself.  He's holding a rainbow umbrella under the stenciled raindrops.  I masked the word 'fun' from the sentiment and sprinkled it in the rain.
I added Distress Ink for the grass and shading with PolyChromos pencils.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you'll check out the Twofer Challenge.

Bobbie, your umbrella's are darling. The beachy ones remind me of my southern california summers and your bear looks happy in the rain with his colorful umbrella. Darling cards, thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge.

Beach umbrellas! Brilliant! Great cards, Bobby!

Love that rainbow umbrella, Bobby! We could cheer up a rainy day with one like that! The beach umbrellas make me want to go to the beach. I think that will have to wait for this year, so I can appreciate your view of the sandy shore!

The people-less beach is so thought-provoking, Bobby - even though it makes me sad to think we won't even have a beach to set up umbrellas this year!
Thanks for including this sweet bear - he, and his rainbow-umbrellas cheered me right up again!

Oh Bobby, these are so cute. I love the bear with his multi-colored umbrella and unfortunately that beach is exactly what is going on now. You nailed it!

What a cute duo, Bobby ... your parasols on the beach scene are all ready for when we can go there again ... and the fun sprinkled raindrops look so sweet with Bear and his rainbow umbrella! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)

Two wonderful cards Bobby! Your people-less beach card is beautiful but I'm hoping by mid to late Summer it will be filled with lots of people enjoying the sun, sand, water, AND umbrella's! And your bear card with his rainbow umbrella is just too CUTE! Love how you added the word "fun" to the raindrops too! Thanks so much for sharing both of these wonderful cards with us at The Twofer Challenge! Hugs. :0)

Two really cute umbrella cards. That bear is just adorable with his rainbow umbrella. Love the way you stamped fun in the raindrops. The empty beach makes a powerful statement all by itself but the sentiment makes you think everything is just going to be all right.

That bear always makes me smile and I like his colorful umbrella! How I would love to be under one of those beach umbrellas of yours. These are terrific Bobby!

Your creativity cap fit you like a glove when it came to these two incredible and CASlicious design ideas, Bobby! I love the shape of that umbrella which you colored beautifully on both cards and I got a kick out of you literally sprinkling fun among the raindrops! Brilliant! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #26! Take care and stay safe! Hugs, Darnell

Two wonderful cards, Bobby! I would love to be on that beach right now in the warm sun! We have sun today, but no warmth! Your sprinkled "fun" words are fantastic and so perfect with the sentiment! Very clever! I hope you are doing well. It's been crazy busy here with everybody working and schooling from home! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
