The Paper Players

The Paper Players have a somewhat tricky color combination this week in my humble opinion..... I concentrated on the blue and gold and kept the cantaloupe for the enamel dots....



I used the STAMPlorations set Trendy Feathers  - the sentiment is from the same set and the swirl and splot are from Papertrey Happy Trails. I masked the blue feather, before I stamped it a second time in gold. The gold is Delicata ink - I just love this ink. It so pretty in real life, the picture does not do  it justice.....

Here is the inspiration photo:

Cornelia, I think you rocked the challenge. I often do the same thing as you did, take the one color that isn't working for me and introduce it as a small element. I love the feathers and the boarder of blue. So glad you joined the Paper Players this week

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.

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! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
