I used a Lavinia stamp called Mooch for both cards and on the Halloween card I used a Lavinia tree stamp. I brushed on Distress Oxide inks for the background after masking the moon. Then I brushed a bit of color over it and stamped bats for Mooch to watch fly by. I colored two Lawn Fawn pumpkins with Copics and fussy cut them to add at the base of the tree.
The birthday card uses a Simon Says Stamp set and dies. I colored the fish with Copics and added stickles to both and glossy accents to the body of the orange fish. The waves are embossed with white e/p. After adding the fish to the bowl, I covered it with acetate, then the frame. Mooch would love to get one of those fish for dinner.
Thank you, Darnell, for four years of enjoyment with this fun challenge. I met lovely new bloggers and had a terrific time each month.
Be kind to one another.

Your final TCC entries will inspire anyone looking at the gallery, Brenda! They are great examples of how to rock making two different designs using the same stamp. And, of my, isn't Mooch a great stamp?! I've never seen him stamped other than as a silhouette, but I think he is equally fabulous as a tabby being mesmerized by a colorful and schparkly pair of twofer fishies! So clever! As for your classic Halloween design, you checked all the boxes with the necessary elements that make it classic, all beautifully composed and colored. Thank you so much for being with us from the very beginning of the Twofer Card Challenge all the way to the last challenge. Your support and enthusiasm has meant the world to me and the entire Team! Mwah, my friend! Hugs, Darnell
two wonderful cards Brenda, Mooch is such a cutie, I might just have to put that cat on my wish list ♥
Two super cards Brenda, they are both fabulous designs.

The background on your Halloween card looks amazing and what a striking and fabulous card x. Thanks for the smile on your 'fish' card, which is fun and creative. Clever use of the 'cat' on both of your unique and wonderful cards Brenda x.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a friendly and kind comment, which I really appreciate x.
Wow! Your cards are awesome! Your cards look beautiful and I love the blending of colors.
Love your Halloween sky, Brenda! It looks so spooky and scary! The fish are adorable! I hope Mooch doesn't make a meal out of them! Thanks so much for sharing with us in our last Twofer Challenge!
What a clever use of that cat image on each card! I love the Halloween colors of the night sky and that kitty staring at the fishbowl is too cute - and typical of cats too! Great job!
I'm more of a dog lover than cat, but that Mooch stamp is SO cute and I think he needs to come live at my house...thanks for enabling Brenda!! Your Twofers are are FABULOUS this month...two completely different designs for different occasions, and I'm loving both of them!! Thank you so much for being such an avid supporter of the Twofer Challenge Brenda...we have appreciated players like you SO much!! Marcia (DT) :0)
Two great cards for the twofer challenge. Beautiful coloring for your Halloween scene. Love the colorful fish. Mooch does look very much on the alert on both your cards.
Wow, what fabulous twofers Brenda! I am so loving Mooch, what a cutie and I love how you have used this cutie. Your Halloween card is so classic, takes me back to when I was young. I so love the scene you created on this one. The birthday card is so fun. Mooch looks great as a tabby and not just a silhouette. I love how he is looking at those fishes. lol So cute! Great job! I know many are going to miss the Twofer Challenge. But there is still the NBUS. And God knows, we all have a pile of that, right?!! Some of us have piles that are years old! sigh Hugs, Brenda
Two fabulous cards, Brenda!! Two unique ones using the cat image! The first card is so cute with the fish and cat looking at each other! A fun sentiment, too! And, your Halloween card is awesome with beautiful ink blending...a wonderful scene! Well done, Brenda!!
Two amazing cards, Brenda. The designs are so different, but equally beautiful. xx
Fun bday and Halloween cards with Mooch, Brenda! Just love the pair of fish in their bowl and the gorgeous scene you created for card two!!
Dang, girl! These are just fabulous cards! Mooch is one awesome kitty. He looks 'hungry' on your birthday card, and just a little spooky on your Halloween card. Funny how one stamp can look so different. Your background on that Halloween card is sincerely stunning. Wowzers! All that shadowing, and the night sky is, well, spook-tacular! Thank you so much for joining us for this final Twofer Challenge, and for being such a faithful Twofer joiner-inner all these years. It's a treat to see your cards every single time. Sending hugs, not saying good-bye though... : ) Bev
Amazing cards Brenda!! LOVE that sweet Mooch! It looks a bit scary for the fish to have him sitting so close. :) And perfect for a Halloween card. Love the scene you've created with the eery night sky with bright moon. Great work, my friend! xx
I've enjoyed every of your Twofers during the years, Brenda. Also for the final challenge you did an excellent job. I love the this cat. A little bit scary, but wonderful. It is just appropriate for the Halloween card. Great scene on it. And the second card with the cat staring at fishes swimming in the bowl in fantastic. Thank you for joining us at the final TCC. Hugs, Sonja
Oh wow--you're ending Twofers with a bang! Both cards are just wonderful, Brenda! I'm not big on Halloween, but I love the scene you made! Mooch looks like he's admiring your beautiful fish! Have a good week, my friend!
