Clean and Simple Day 5

Stretch your stamps is the homework assignment on day 5 of the C&S class. I used the Hero Arts Horizontal lines background stamp (CG143) to create those 3 different backgrounds. On the first card I clear embossed it and colored the background with distress inks and a brush. On card two I inked it with black ink and colored the lines with markers and on card 3 I white embossed it on Kraft.


Other materials: The other stamp on the first card is by Ryn Tanaka, put some Stickles on it, the thanks die cut is Cuttlebug, the heart border is Martha Stewart and the love sentiment is Hero Arts Word Shadow (AC0005)

And here are the cards separately - kind of amazing how different they look....
Card # 1 will take part in the Play Date cafe challenge






Thanks for visiting my blog and thanks for all the nice comments you left me - I enjoy so much reading them!

Great take on such different cards! I especially like the second one, I would not have thought of colouring "between the lines"!

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

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) fiftee...
