My Time to Craft has a fun challenge. It's called "1-2-3". You have to use 1 of something, 2 of something else, and 3 of something else. I have one fence, two birds, and three words.
I created a background with some blue watercolour paint to make a sky and some Distress Snowfall Grit Paste to make the snowy ground. Added the die cut fence. Then die cut two of the Time Holtz birds and did a bit of sponging on them with Distress Aged Mahogany. Added them to the fence and ground, and finished with a three word sentiment on a banner die cut and some white splattering.
Try It on Tuesday wants to see embossing of some sort. I went with both dry and heat embossing. And I used a stamp I haven't used since I started my blog in 2015. The last time I used it was in 2013 on a card I posted on SCS. So I'm adding it to The Neglected Stuff Challenge.
I stamped my image / sentiment in dark blue in the centre of a layer of cs and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I coloured in the bird and the stars with a bit of lighter blue watercolour paint. Then placed it in the snowflake embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug.

Terrific twofers. Saw the 1-2-3 challenge and your take on it is brilliant! Love that EF on your second card… provides the perfect frame for that lovely sentiment.

Your 1-2-3 card is very clever Susa, and I love the pretty birds, one perched and one on the ground, with a great blue sky and the grit paste which makes wonderful snow, and the then the lovely sentiment to finish. The second looks terrific using the dry embossed white snowflake frame and the the sweet blue bird with the flourishy sentiment fits in the centre perfectly. x
