RIC#31



Time again to cook up something for the runway inspired challenge #31




Such a FUN outfit - I love that cute cyclops monster on the T-shirt. I immediately thought of some on-eyed monster stamps I have, but when I looked at them none of them seemed to be a good fit. So I settled on a Toucan stamp from an old Stampin' up set that I have called "Just Beakause".


I paper pieced the toucan. I settled on the houndstooth, since I did not have black and white striped paper and I put black gems and little dots of pink Perfect Pearls on it to finish the card.

 I hope you like it - have a great weekend and thank you all for all the lovely comments you left on my blog!

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...
