Tuesday Trigger - Craving Navy

Hard to imagine, but I actually don't have a navy ink pad...Blue is not a color I often use.

                                                                        

Here comes the challenge for me. I decided to cut of strips of paper - thankfully I had some navy blue paper at home.....


I mounted them on white card stock and put grey paper strips on the sides.


I used two circle punches for the sentiment. The grass and sentiment are from Annabelle Stamps. The set is
called Garden Silhouettes and I choose it a while ago as my prize for a card, which won in their challenge. I added the grass because of the flower vase in the inspiration picture.


I added sequins and tiny gems for some sparkle. I hope you like it.


Yes, I know, there is a little bot of green in there - but on one of the DT's cards there were some orange noses on the snowmen, so I guess I should be fine here.....

Hey friend, hope you doing fine and feeling better. Love your beautiful card, great take on the challenge, lovely design and details. :-)
Hi, Cornelia: Just stopping by to look around--love your wonderful card--Navy is MY favorite color and I use it TOO much! I guess we 'balance out' since you said you rarely use Navy.

Love your blog,

Diane

Hallo Cornelia,
dafür dass du kein blau hast, ist die Karte doch ziemlich blau und schön geworden.

Oh, I do love it! So pretty and you were creative in making your stripes. I love the grey on either side of the stripes and of course I love the bling! Great take on the Trigger. TFS

Such a lovely card and a great take on the TT. A fabulous entry for someone who "doesn't do" navy!!

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

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...
