The Twinery #10


It really took me forever to come up with an idea for the Twinery challenge

                                                              

I had a couple of them, but only in my head. I did not even try them out. Today I was actually making another card with watercolor paper and the block of paper I have is almost used up, but there are thin stripes, that remain. I detached them from the metal spiral and used them for this card:



I cross-stitched them together with twine - of course....


A heart embellishment and the stamps are from Hero Arts - You and Me.

I like it. It makes a strong statement, I think. It will go into my Valentine's card stash.... Never hurts, to be ahead of the game....

Oh yes, since I used snippets it will also go into the Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground - such a great way to link up your cards with left-overs and ever since I discovered this blog I have been more conscientious about my scraps...

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.

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.
