RIC #29

This weeks runway inspired challenge has again a great inspiration photo:























And here is my take on it:



The pink stamps are my own (see below , the sentiment is  a combo of Clearly Wordsworth and Hero Arts - Essential Messages (Cl371). I used Washi tape at the bottom, which I cut in half and splattered some blue/grey distress ink on top. I m very happy with the result, my husband was not thrilled, but my son liked it, yeahhh!

And here is my inspiraton:

and

Tasnim, who reminded me that I can make my own stamps - I have done that several times before, for example on this card, where I made myself that background stamp:




And here is a photo of some of my home made stamps using left over rubber from stamp sheets or craft foam, which also works great.




I hope you enjoyed my little blog today - have a great day and as always your comments are greatly appreciated. I had to turn on comment moderation, as I got hit with the first spam comment. I hope you understand.

Such creativity! Also enjoy how your colors/elements are opposite the inspiration photo ... instead of beige, low, stacked boxes, you have high pink ones with a beige sentiment. Works really well!

Von diesen beiden Karten bin ich sehr begeistert! Eine super Idee wie du die Gummireste als so ganz einfache Stempelformen verwendet hast!!
Was dabei herauskam ist genial!
Die erste Karte mit den Farbspritzern hat es mir besonders angetan!!

Die zwei Karten finde ich total fantastisch! Was man so alles aus den Gummiresten machen kann ist erstaunlich!
Außerdem bin ich dir noch eine Antwort schuldig: der Prägefolder mit den zarten Blütenzweigen ist von "Nellies Choice" (www.nellies-choice.com).

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

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) fiftee...

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
