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:

Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die.

Card for Maddy:

You may know already about Maddywho was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie. She now has a relapse and this card drive is going on to help her lift her spirits. I participated in the flickr Hero Arts scramble yesterday and Heidi had the idea to send her cards to Maddy. Such a good idea - she'll get mine, too:




Simon Says has this card drive, where you can link up your card.

Materials: Starburst Lace stamp heat embossed in different colors, sentiment: Hero Arts Sending Smiles Messages

Die erste Karte in grün/schwarz, mit den klaren Linien gefällt mir prima, obwohl ich gar kein Grün Fan bin!
Die leuchtenden Farben der zweiten Karte werden Maddy bestimmt gefallen und es ist eine wunderbare Geste, ihr diese Karte zu senden!

I really like the way you used the ribbon and the die cut in your CAS card. Very effective.

I'm sure Maddie's spirits will lift when she sees your card.

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
