AEI♥U

The July challenge is still going on at Avery Elle and below you see the inspiration photo. I finally own some Avery Elle stamps, although I hardly used any for this challenge....



I cut out strips of colored card stock, adhered them to white card stock and put a clear acrylic sheet behind the colored strips. It was kind of hard to photograph this card, but I think with three different views you get how it looks like... I like the middle view best, where the light reflects off the acrylic....




The sets I used were Bright Days and To the Point.

Ahhh, you guys seem to like my Germany pictures - I have gotten some very nice comments about them - thank you all, I love your comments :)
So here are some more pics - this time as collages. We - my son and friends of us took the train to Tegernsee and hiked up the Baumgartenschneid, which is 1444 m high. The weather was not great, so we did not have a good view, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless!









And once again, have a great day!

What a great idea of the card! Your cards ideas make me think that you're cardmaking engineer :)

Tolle Bilder wieder! Das erinnert mich an früher wenn unsere Tante zu Besuch kam, da fuhren wir des öfteren zum großen Arber und uns Kindern machte die kraxlerei eine menge Spaß. Ich wandere gerne im Urlaub und am liebsten in den Bergen, wie du dir denken kannst.

Nun zu deiner Karte...
ehrlich gesagt wäre mir zu diesem Foto rein gar nichts eingefallen, aber du hast es wieder geschafft eine überaus interessante Karte damit zu gestalten. Hut ab!!

Saw this over at AE and loved your take on that photo. And perusing your Germany photos I would say that that little fox was a little too close for comfort, eh?

This is so beautiful and trendy card, Cornelia. Love all the soft colored stripes on white and perfect take on the challenge, friend. I have seen few of your Germany pictures and I loved these too. Very beautiful places and you have captured very beautiful shots. :-)

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: 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...
