Moody Blues



I discovered this crafts 4 eternity challenge recently and really liked their inspiration picture. I thought I will use those colors in an idea I recently had. I got those letter stencils at Michaels and wanted to make word cards with them in different colors just with sponging. That can be used for any season or just as a background - all those possibilities swirling around in my head.....

 I am not totally happy with the fonts that were available, but they were cheap enough that nothing much is lost.....

At CASology this week's theme is WINTER, so I am also submitting this card to this challenge.

Here is the card I made. The colors are the closest I could find in my stash for the color challenge:




The snowflakes are from Inkadinkadoo and I put Stickles on the small ones to add some sparkle.



AHH and since its winter I thought I show you some pictures from my Christmas vacation in Ithaca. It was sooo pretty there. I wish we had some snow here.

Cornelia, what a clever idea to use stencil letters! I have them (also from Michael's) but it never occurred to me! What pretty blues, and I love the various snowflakes, too. I'm a Jersey Girl, too...and I would love to see some snow! Glad you saw such beautiful scenes in Ithaca, what lovely photos you took there! Thanks for joining in the fun at CASology this week!

Hi Conni

deine Karte ist mal wieder ein richtiger Hingucker und eine superschöne Umsetzung der Farbchallenge!

Ich kann dich verstehen das dir der Schnee fehlt. Ich mag auch gerne Schneelandschaften aber auf der Strasse ist er mir ein Gräuel!
Das sind wirklich herrliche Winterszenen, die du ganz toll eingefangen hast.

LG Rosi

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
