ABC12 ~ An Inspiration Challenge


All Beautiful Cards has this amazing inspiration photo for this weeks challenge:
I just fell in love with that cardinal  - this pop of red among those snowy branches



So I made this card with my new Penny Black " all you need..." stamp set. I first stamped it in light grey and clear embossed it. Then I stamped over the image in black using a slight off-set. I then masked the bootm with a post it note and sponged a little grey around the branches. The heart is made with a corner punch from  Fiskars.

AND NOW:
retro sketches : a challenge

And here is my card for the Retrosketches #46 challenge:



I just turned the sketch around - why not ...... The stamps are Hero Arts Silhouette Fern (K5314) and Alpine Fern (C3637). I inked htem up with Versamark and clear embossed them.  The sentiment is Papertrey - Mixed Messages, used a small leaf punch from a company that does not like to put their name on their products....

Das tolle Bild hast du super umgesetzt. Durch das Schattenspiel, hast du eine wunderbare Tiefe ins Bild gebracht und das kleine rote Herzerl ist am rechten Fleck!

Die zweite Karte gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Das harmonische Farbspiel und der schöne, saubere CAS Stil sind perfekt!!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies
