Hello everyone and welcome to I Love Math Challenge. :o)
And now to the second challenge...
Two is an even number and first prime number.
An even number is a number that can be divided evenly with 2.
A prime number can be divided, without a remainder, only by itself and by 1.
I made these two Cancer Cards, for my two friends, a couple. Like I, they both love Astrology, so Zodiac themed cards were logical choice. Once again, Happy birthday Dijana and Marko! :o)
My take on number two:
To make these cards I CASEd my own card, you can find here.
I stamped Cancers on a white watercolor paper and colored them with Stabilo Markers. I fussy cut them out and colored edges with black Stabilo Marker.
I use thin watercolor paper. I don't like to spend a lot of money on paper and this one I use is white and I love to color on it. :o)
I wanted images to pop-up, so I had to make images thicker. I stamped two more Cancers on a white cardstock paper, fussy cut them out leaving a white border around them and glued colored images over them. I added withe highlights with a white pen and images were finished. :o)
I stamped part of a sentiment directly on card bases, and the other part, I heat embossed in white on black cardstock paper stripes.
I glued 3-D foams on back of images and heat embossed sentiments and placed them on card bases. I embellished both cards with two enamel stickers and my cards were finished. :o)
I'm so happy the challenge got live and your great response to a first one. Thank you for all your lovely comments and support mails. You are wonderful!! :o)
For new visitors, a brief introduction...
The idea behind:
To combine my two greatest passions together: Math and Crafts. Also to show Math isn't the worst thing in the world. :o)
In each challenge I'll create a project, describe how I made it and create an inspiration board. Something mathematical will be included in each challenge. :o)
My plan is to hold challenges at least two times a year. I'll announce new challenge two weeks before it starts.
And now to the second challenge...
TWO
Two is an even number and first prime number.

I made these two Cancer Cards, for my two friends, a couple. Like I, they both love Astrology, so Zodiac themed cards were logical choice. Once again, Happy birthday Dijana and Marko! :o)
My take on number two:
- two cards for my two friends, a couple
- two stamp sets from two different companies
- sentiment has two words created in two techniques (stamping and heat embossing)
- black on white and white on black
- two enamel dots on each card
- two pop-up elements on each card
