colourQ challenge #178...

The Color Q challenge tempts us this week with this gorgeous inspiration photo:





What a cool shower curtain! I love the fresh look of it. First I was contemplating butterflies for hte card, but this was already done and I wanted something different. somewhere in my stash of unused stamps that I amassed on one of those stamp fairs I found this stamp that I thought goes well with the challenge - and its about time to use it!


In the end I almost messed it up, smudging the sentiment stamp fell out of my hand when I lifted it off the card - I hate, when that happens...But a couple of Stickles dots take care of that problem!
I colored the stamp with Copics, the sentiment is Hero Arts Heart Felt Messages (Cl150).

Today's quote:

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

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.

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...
