Here's the close-up ...
For my second card, I took four of the fun bird images and stamped them in a soft brown to create my background. The same bird as card #1 was stamped again in Versafine black ink, watercoloured with zigs in rainbow colours, fussy-cut and popped up on top of the background. I added a small mask and a little bit of sponging to ground the image. And used one of the sentiment stamps from the same set to create a friendship card "You are the Best!"

Wow, both cards are amazing, really loved these designs. Stopping by from twofer challenge to appreciate your card that caught my eyes.
LOVE how bright and cheery your cards are Loll! Jane's Doodles images are so cute and you are showing them off wonderfully. The background on the first looks fantastic. I really like the background stamping on the second, too, with all the different birds. Such a fun twofer!
These are very eye-catching with the gorgeous vivid colours. Beautiful colouring and stencilling, Loll and the little bird is sweet.
Your backgrounds, Loll, always inspire me! That little bird looks as though he's in a tropical paradise on your Bird-day card. He also looks so happy with his rainbow-self surrounded by a flock of his friends!
These designs are fantastic, Lolly, and really let that colorful bird take center stage! I am over the moon with that bold green leaf stencil on your bird-day card and how you popped up the panel like a gallery showing! And your handmade DSP is perfect for your second design! Beautiful coloring and grounding! Hugs, Dolly
Now that is a darling, happy bird! I think the reason he's so happy is because you gave him such beautiful color, and the first is every bird's tropical paradise dream. Love both cards, Loll!
Beautiful coloring on this darling bird, Loll! Your stenciled background is so pretty on your birthday card and your stamped birds on the 2nd card is perfect! As always, you have totally inspired me to play along again this month :)
Two terrific twofers, Loll. The colours and Zig watercolouring is bright and beautiful. xx
Fantastic cards Loll! Your birds are cute and nice colored. The design is great. I like the background on the second card. Wonderful idea! If you allow, I would like to use it on one of my futured projects. :-)
Besides your wonderful talent for design I am always drawn to your cards because of your fantastic use of color. These are so darned cute. Love the brilliant background on the first one as well as the creative, rainbow colors on the second one.
Birdiful cards, Loll! Love that image. He's got a great look, and seems to be a fun image to color. That first background is so perfect for your little jungle bird, and I love the neutral-stamped birds for your second card. Two very sweet cards, Loll! Love 'em! Bev
Both your birds are beautifully colored and fussy cut, Loll. Each background is a perfect setting for the colors in your birds. I love the sentiments you chose from the same stamp set as the bird too. Two very happy cards, my friend. TFS Hugs..Nancy
Two wonderful cards, Loll, I love the backgrounds you've created for the beautiful bird stamped images. xx
Whether sitting in a tree or strutting his colorful plumage, those birds are so cute and colorful, Loll.
Love, LOVE your bird images Loll!! That little leg lifted up just cracks me up...what a FUN set to use! Love how both birds pop on your 2 different backgrounds too...that stenciled leaf background is just perfect for your Zig colored birdie and the more neutral stamped background is perfect too for your rainbow colored bird! Two FABULOUS cards my friend!! :0)
your leaf stenciled background is perfect for that cute little bird, I also love that tropical birdy, amazing colours :)
These twofers are fantastic, Loll! I love the gorgeous green leaf stenciling, the Zig colored happy birds, and the DIY pattern paper (stamped background panel)! These two cards with great and different designs exemplify the Twofer Challenge rules so beautifully and well.

I had a little chuckle Loll, you little birds are so cute - two fantastic cards, love the stamped birdie background and of course your glorious stenciled one too
Oh Loll these are such fabulous cards - love them both, especially the one with the stamped background.
Blessings

Two sweet cards, Loll ! I especially love your gorgeous and vibrant green background, it beautifully highlights the bird. Love the blue and green colours for your bird. Very eye-catching ! A lovely rainbow colour for your twofer and what a great idea to stamp all the other ones in neutral colours to make the background. As always, very inspirational cards ! Thanks so much for having me Guest Designing along with you. x
Two fun CAS cards Loll, love the colourful little birds, Cathy x
What a fabulous Twofer ..... love the little bird, he's so colourful. Great backgrounds too xx
What a fabulous twofer Loll! I love both cards. It amazes me how you can use the same stamp but get a totally different look on the bird just by the way you color him and use him on a card. Love how bright and festive both of these cards are. They just make me feel happy! Hugs, Brenda
Two adorable tweety bird cards, Loll. Love the pretty colors. Hope all is well. Hugs, Lin
Such fun cards with vibrant colours and love the bird images. Both so different with great designs and the stamping on the background on card number two looks fabulous and unique. Stunning inspiration and both wonderful cards, thank you X
Beautiful birds, Loll, and your unique backgrounds for both are perfection!
These birds are such fun, my friend! I love how you've colored them so brightly! They're just what we need to see on a dreary, cloudy day. I love how different they look by changing their colors and the backgrounds!
Oh my, I love this bird. He is adorable against the sponged leaves. The second bird stands out with his brilliant coloring. I think he is adorable because he looks like he is just walking along. So cute.
You are so clever, your cards are always gorgeous. The colours are wonderful and the detail you put in whilst keeping them CAS is brilliant xx
Two great designs using this fun bird stamp Loll! the green stenciling is so luscious on the first and your bird is so beautifully colored and how fun to create a background of the randomly stamped birds for your second design!! xx
Your cards are very inspirational, Loll. Each of these cards has an amazing, perfect background. I love the exotic appearance of the first card and the beautiful colors of the bird on the second card. Thank you for your efforts in inspiring us.
Such a lush, tropical forest for your perky bird to play in on your first card, Loll ... his plumage is fabulous! The rainbow colours on that second bird are delicious ... they pop beautifully against the soft, neutral background! What cuties! Hugs, Anita :)
Both birds are so bright and pretty Loll, and love the leafy stencilled background in those bright green tones on the first, and then the soft brown uncoloured images look lovely but don't detract from that wonderfully coloured bird over the top. x
love how you created these using the bird...well done mf.
xx Karen
This bird is too cute with his kicked-up leg. I love the bright colors on your cards too :)
Wow both twofers are so TWEET. Such vibrant colours and amazing watercoloring. Zigs are great. "You are the best" xxx
