Black Tie Friday



One of my all time favorite stamps is the water droplet stamp by Ryn Tanaka. I have used it often. In fact she has come out with new versions of it, I have ordered some, but the order has not yet arrived. Everyday when I check my mailbox I am disappointed - not yet here.... Well, they are coming from Canada - hail to snail mail.....

So when Black Tie Friday had this theme "under the sea" I had to pull this stamp out again. 





I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and sponged it with distress inks. I put little enamel dots on the droplets and used some Washi Tape. The sentiment is by Amuse. I also put Stickles onto the Koi, but it does not show very well...

This is beautiful! I had no idea this was a stamp. It looks 3d and with a shadow.

This card is stellar. I love the dimension that your droplets of water have, it really brings your coy to life. Thank you for playing with Black Tie Fridays.

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.

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!
