The second card is all about the happy! I do love rainbows. This is a rainbow with a twist as the colours are up and down instead of side-to-side. :) I sponged distress inks to create the rainbow and then let it dry thoroughly before adding white heat embossed stars with the same stencil as used in the above card. I used a stitched curve die to cut out the bottom of the card. The sentiment is stamped in black in to finish.

Fantastic work using your starry stencil, Loll. Love the starry night, so pretty and elegant. And the rainbow stars is just so full of fun and delight. Thanks for sharing!
I love the polar bear baby card. The sky is beautiful and the bear is so sweet. Your birthday card is so happy and I love the rainbow.
Two absolutely BEAUTIFUL cards Loll! LOVE that black and gold starry sky and that little bear sitting on the snowbank is just too sweet! And your rainbow starry sky is perfect for a fun and happy birthday card! You get all stars for this assignment my friend!! :0)
Two wonderful cards, Loll, a fabulous two-fer. I love the black and gold with the cute bear and the beautiful rainbow.
Love that rainbow bg, Loll - always a winner in my book! The night sky is gorgeous too, and your sweet bear too of course!!
If we didn't know they were the same stencil, we'd never have thought about it being the same stencil. I love how you used the stencil in both cards. What beauties.
I love how you used your stencil to create your cards, Loll! The bear is darling, and I'll bet this card is very shimmery from the Perfect Pearls! I also love that you embossed the stars on your rainbow birthday card...so bright, crisp, and clean...Fun card! Thanks so much for having me along as your guest designer!
Two beautiful cards for different occasions using a star stencil..how cool! I love your sweet baby polar bear looking up at the stars on your 1st card and your bright and cheerful rainbow with heat embossed stencil stars on your 2nd card. TFS Loll Hugs..Nancy
Oh, so cute, Lolly! That background is awesome and I'm sure it's even more stunning in person! It's the perfect background for that sweet bear and his Christmas wishes! And your Twofer rainbow birthday card is my favorite rainbow card of all time! I love the vertical application and how cool your design is with the curved panel and the white embossed stars from the stencil!! Hugs, Dolly
You've created a gorgeous star-lit sky for your sweet little polar bear, Loll! As you said, that sentiment is perfect! I love your rainbow blended background with the bright white stars - such a cheerful birthday card!
What fabulous backgrounds on both of these, Loll! You do such a gorgeous rainbow and I love the galaxy effect on the black . That cute little bear with the perfect sentiment is perfect for a cold, winter night too!
Fabulous twofer Lol. YOur backgrounds are so eye-catching.
Beautiful use of your star stencil to make two fabulous CAS cards! I do love the darling polar bear with the night sky background, but also that wonderful rainbow you sponged. I'd never guess this was a stencil. So pretty!
Since I love stars so much, naturally I love your two cards! They are both fabulous, but especially the Christmas one - that bear is adorable and the night sky perfect - and what a wonderful choice of sentiment! But I do like your rainbow of colours for the birthday card too!
Your sweet polar bear looks right at home under that starry sky! And your rainbow starry birthday card is so bright and festive! Love them both! You can sure work wonders with stencils!
two great cards Loll, your bear staring up into the starry sky soooooo adorably cute and the rainbow of stars is wonderful. BTW Love that stencil :)
Beautiful cards Loll, and so very different. Love the wee polar bear, and the rainbow of stars!
Blessings
Maxine
Fabulous Twofer! How cute is the little stargazing polar bear, and I love the rainbow colours on the birthday card xx
That little polar bear is adorable, Loll ... so sweet staring up at that gorgeous golden starred night sky! What a delicious up and down rainbow ... the crisp white stars are so celebratory against those wonderfully vibrant colours! Hugs, Anita :)
They are both gorgeous! So glad we are now allowed to use stencils!
At first glance you wouldn't think these two have a stencil in common, Loll. The night sky with the darling bear is perfect for the sentiment and then there's the bright and colorful rainbow where the star appear much bigger. Two wonderful cards.
Just love the vertical rainbow you've created here. I actually thought a fantasy version of Northern Lights! Maybe cuz my mind was on night sky after your first card ;)
Wonderful twofers, Loll! As you know I love rainbows so I am loving your rainbow birthday card! xx
Great use of the stencil on both of your wonderful cards. Your first card is super cute with a great sentiment and night sky. Your second card is so vibrant and happy and gorgeous sponging x.
Fantabulous duo, Loll! That starry night sky is just perfect for that cute little polar bear! Gosh, I used to tear paper all the time when I scrapbooked; must remember to use it for a card soon. And there's a ton of happiness in your birthday card. Love that vertical rainbow with all those white embossed stars. Awesome cards! Hope you're having a great week. xo Bev
Two wonderful starry cards Loll! one dark and magical - and one bright and fanciful! xx
Two amazing star cards, Loll. I especially love the rainbow effect. xx
Oh goodness, what fun cards Loll! I love the night time scene with the adorable baby polar bear, it makes such a cute Christmas card. I really love the starry sky and love that you used a stencil that was a NBUS! Your second card is just so bright and cheery with the reverse rainbow! Sure to bring a smile to anyone's face as it shines so brightly. Now I need to get my thinking cap on. Hugs, Brenda
Cute Twofers Loll.
Wonderful pair, Loll - just love the starry background on both!!
Hi Loll,
2 very stunning creations and the colours on the second one are so bright and cheerful, but the first one has such a cutie image and wonderful sentiment.
I love them both.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
