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:
This card by Susan 
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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
